What this document is
A refugee travel document is issued to a recognised refugee in place of a passport from their country of origin. Article 28 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees obliges states to issue such documents to refugees lawfully staying in their territory, and its annex sets the specimen they follow.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light neutral background without shadows.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 36 × 47 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 425 × 555 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.
