How to crop it, in three steps

  1. 01

    Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light

    The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%

  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03Same country

Do not confuse it with another Mongolia document

Mongolia does not use one frame for everything. This page is about passport — 35 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What 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 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.

Where these numbers come from

Source: Embassy of Mongolia in the United States and the General Authority for State Registration (GASR) of Mongolia. Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.

What the source confirms

  • Embassy of Mongolia in the United States, «New foreign passport», documents: the application form, a personal application to the embassy written in Mongolian, a copy of the civil identity card, a copy of the old passport or a police report for a lost one, and the portrait sent electronically on the website of the General Authority for State Registration (photo.burtgel.gov.mn).
  • Same page, the requirements for the portrait (translated from the Mongolian): the face part occupies 90 % of the portrait; no uniform; no hat, scarf or glasses, with the ears, forehead and eyebrows fully visible; a white background; a size of 413 × 531 pixels (3.4 × 4.5); a photograph taken within the last 1 month; where the appearance has changed, the relevant documents must have been given to the registration officer.
  • Same page, if you cannot upload a compliant portrait yourself: a phone photo can be prepared with paid photo-formatting sites such as photos.mn or visafoto.com; if the portrait is not sent on the site, the ordered foreign passport cannot be printed; a video instruction for sending the portrait is linked.
  • Same page, the order: the passport fee is USD 50 (by card or money order); a new passport takes 2–3 months to be ordered and received; documents sent by mail must go by certified mail, and the embassy takes no responsibility for documents lost in uncertified mail.
