02The document

What this document is

Palestinian passports are issued by the Ministry of Interior. The biometric passport system is also being introduced at Palestinian embassies abroad, for example in Sweden, as a joint project of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates meant to speed up issuing and renewing passports; on the embassy’s electronic platform the applicant fills in the form and uploads documents. Diplomatic passports are supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

04Same country

Do not confuse it with another Palestine document

Palestine 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.

05What 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 textures or noticeable gradients.
  • 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.
