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 light background without shadows or foreign objects.
  • 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.

07Source

Where these numbers come from

Source: Migration Department under the Ministry of the Interior of Lithuania. Last checked against the official page on 19 Aug 2026.

What the source confirms

  • Lithuanian citizens abroad apply for an ID card in person through a consular post or, in Lithuania, a migration office.
  • The same official page covers both Lithuanian passport and identity-card applications.
  • For children aged 1-16, the page lists two age-appropriate photos and links the national photo-requirements source.
  • The Migration Department rules name the identity card first in the list of documents they cover, alongside the passport, service passport, alien’s passport, driving licence and residence permit.
  • The photo sheet must be 40 × 60 mm and shot so that 35 × 45 mm rectangles can be cut out of it.
  • Because laser engraving reproduces only greyscale, the Migration Department recommends a black-and-white photo for laser-engraved documents, the identity card included.
