02The document

What this document is

The residence card of a family member of a Union citizen is for relatives from outside the EU who live with an EU citizen in an EU country other than the citizen’s own. It is issued under Article 10 of Directive 2004/38/EC, and under Article 5 of the same directive a valid card exempts its holder from the visa requirement.

05What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without foreign objects or patterns.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 40 × 50 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 472 × 591 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
