- 03
Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background: light blue or light grey.
- 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.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Morocco-specific things to know
- The official pages word the background differently: the document list says blue, white or light grey, the portal's photo sheet says sky blue or light grey. Sky blue or light grey satisfies both.
- Glasses are allowed only with clear lenses; tinted lenses and thick frames must be removed, and the glasses must not reflect light. They are not compulsory in the photo.
- The face must be visible from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead; decorative hats and caps are not allowed.
- Small children are photographed alone — an accompanying person must not appear — and, unlike adults, need not have a neutral expression or look into the camera, though they must face it.

Where these numbers come from
Source: passeport.ma — official Moroccan passport portal. Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- passeport.ma, documents to provide (adults, minors and provisional passports): one recent identity photograph, 35 mm × 45 mm, on a blue, white or light grey background, showing the applicant from the front with the characteristics of the whole face clearly visible.
- Official «Normes pour les photographies» sheet: sharp, no stains or ink marks; in colour, well exposed and correctly contrasted, no flash marks, red eyes or shadows on the face; brightness and colours render the skin tone faithfully; background plain sky blue or light grey with no shadows.
- Same sheet, face and head: the face centred, the head straight and facing the lens, gaze fixed on the lens; the face clear with a neutral expression (mouth closed, no smile, eyes normally open and clearly visible); all elements of the face from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead fully visible; decorative headwear such as hats or caps not allowed.
- Same sheet, glasses: only clear lenses are accepted; the glasses must leave the eyes uncovered, even partly (tinted lenses and thick frames must be removed); no light reflections on the glasses; wearing glasses is not compulsory.
- Application: the biometric passport application is filed at the annexe administrative or the caïdat of the applicant's place of residence; duties are paid with a 16-digit e-timbre code; a photocopy of the valid CNIE is attached. Small children are photographed alone and need not show a neutral expression.
