Crop a photo to 30 × 40 mm — Kyrgyzstan driver's license
We have not yet confirmed from ICAO baseline whether this document accepts a photo you prepare yourself. Until that is checked, this page promises nothing about it — the sizes below are the published ones, the route is not.
Upload your photo
The document is already selected — the frame is locked to 30 × 40 mm. Drag the photo inside the frame; the shape cannot be broken.
The photo is cropped in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and we do not store it.
How to crop it, in three steps
- Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- Move the photo until the eyes sit on the guide line and the head fills 70–80%
- Save the 30 × 40 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Exact numbers for this document
| Parameter | What it must be |
|---|---|
| Print size | 30 × 40 mm |
| Pixels at 300 dpi | 354 × 472 px |
| Pixels at 600 dpi | 709 × 945 px |
| Aspect ratio | 3:4 |
| Head, share of height | 70–80% of photo height |
| Eye line from the bottom edge | 55–70% |
| Background | Plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients. |
| Glasses | Clear glasses only, no reflections; sunglasses prohibited. |
| Head covering | Religious reasons only; must not cover the facial oval. |
What these millimetres work out to
- In a 30 × 40 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 28–32 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 40 mm of height that leaves 8–12 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 331–378 pixels tall — below 331 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 0.86 times as wide, 0.89 times as tall and 0.76 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
Do not confuse it with another Kyrgyzstan document
Kyrgyzstan does not use one frame for everything. This page is about driver's license — 30 × 40 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.
- id card 35 × 45 mm
- international passport 35 × 45 mm
- passport 35 × 45 mm
- residence permit 35 × 45 mm
- visa 35 × 45 mm
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain light
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glasses in the frame. This document does not accept them at all — take them off and shoot again.
- 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 354 × 472 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| Background not pure white | Re-shoot against white backdrop |
| Black-and-white photo | Re-shoot in color |
| Photo older than 6 months | Re-shoot |
Kyrgyzstan-specific things to know
- On-site capture at GUOBDD centers typical
- Same MVD biometric coordinated workflow
- Photo captured after theory + practical exams
