What these millimetres work out to
- In a 40 × 50 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35–40 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 50 mm of height that leaves 10–15 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 413–472 pixels tall — below 413 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.14 times as wide, 1.11 times as tall and 1.27 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
What this document is
Nicaraguan passports are issued by the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería (DGME); under the General Law on Migration and Aliens (Law No. 761) the ordinary passport is the travel document it issues to Nicaraguans leaving the country. For a first adult passport the applicant brings the form, an original birth certificate, the cédula as an enlarged photocopy and the bank payment receipt, and the photo is taken at the DGME at no extra cost. Nicaraguans abroad without a cédula can use a valid residence card.

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 textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 40 × 50 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 472 × 591 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.
