03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white or off-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.

05Good to know

Ghana-specific things to know

  • The pages ask for a «standard passport size» photograph and give no millimetres; the printed size and the number of photographs are the mission's own. The only figures written are the six-month age limit and, at Toronto, the upload of 140 × 170 pixels and 1 MB.
  • A witness has to certify the photograph as a true likeness of the applicant (Madrid, Toronto); the certification is made on the printed photograph.
  • The background is white or off-white, in colour; «dark glasses» and hats are excluded, while head coverings are allowed only for religious or medical reasons with the face uncovered.
