What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white or light grey 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.

Where these numbers come from
Source: eGov.kz / Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan. Last checked against the official page on 17 May 2026.
What the source confirms
- eGov.kz says the permanent-residence clearance document package includes one 35 × 45 mm photo.
- For the foreigner residence permit itself, the required documents include two photographs sized 3.5 × 4.5 cm.
- The page says residence permits are issued to foreigners permanently residing in Kazakhstan from age sixteen.
- It also lists fingerprinting certification for foreigners or stateless persons under the applicable rules.
- Detailed pose/background rules are inherited from Kazakhstan’s identity-document photo guidance, so this remains official-general.
