Do not confuse it with another Czech Republic document
Czech Republic does not use one frame for everything. This page is about ID card — 35 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Czech Republic-specific things to know
- Czech identity cards are photographed at the counter — at the municipal office or at an authorised embassy abroad — so there is no print to bring.
- The capture follows Decree No. 281/2021 Coll.: a uniform white to light grey background, at least 13 mm from the eyes to the chin and at least 2 mm above the head.

Where these numbers come from
Source: Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic. Last checked against the official page on 21 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- Citizen Portal, «Issue of identity card»: the card with machine-readable data and a contact chip is valid 5 years under 15, 10 years over 15 and 35 years over 70; the official generates and fills out the application, «takes a photograph of the citizen to whom the identity card is being issued (their presence in person is required for this reason)», and the citizen checks and signs it; the Ministry of the Interior adds that since 2 August 2021 the card holds the facial image and, over 12, fingerprints.
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs, identity card at an embassy (translated): the citizen does not have to submit any photographs, because they are taken free of charge at the authorised embassy when the application is filed; the card is issued within 120 days.
- Act No. 269/2021 Coll., § 19, and Decree No. 281/2021 Coll., § 20 (translated): the filing office takes the biometric data; the face is captured from the front looking into the lens, at least 13 mm from the eyes to the chin and at least 2 mm between the top of the head and the top of the image, with a neutral expression, the mouth closed, the eyes open and not covered by hair, no dark glasses except for the blind, a uniform white to light grey background and no retouching; a head cover only for health or religious reasons, without hiding the face.
