- 03
Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Do not confuse it with another Romania document
Romania 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.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background per Schengen standard.
- 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
Romania-specific things to know
- The electronic passport photo is taken for you at the counter, so the only things you control are your clothing (not light-coloured), your head (uncovered unless religious), your eyes (open, no glasses) and your expression (neutral, a «common state»).
- The 3.5 × 4.5 cm prints belong to the temporary passport and to a holder who is absent — for a minor under 14 the parent may bring two instead of the child's presence.
- Neither page gives a head size, a pixel size or a background colour for the electronic passport; the temporary passport asks for a clear, neutral, light-coloured background that shows the head outline.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

Where these numbers come from
Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania and the General Passport Directorate (Ministry of Internal Affairs). Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania (consular page, translated from the Romanian): Romania issues electronic passports containing the holder's biometric data (fingerprints and photograph) under Regulation (EC) No 2252/2004; the application for the passport is submitted in person, and the applicant's presence is compulsory for the taking of the biometric data — the photographing and the fingerprints.
- Same page, the facial image: recommendation — to ensure a good quality of the photograph, avoid light-coloured clothing; when the facial image is taken the applicant must not have the head covered, the eyes closed or wear glasses, and the facial expression must represent a common state; by exception the facial image can be taken with a head covering for religious reasons, on condition that the holder's face from the base of the chin to the forehead is clearly visible and without shadows of light.
- General Passport Directorate, documents for the temporary simple passport (translated): 2 identical colour photographs of the holder, of 3.5 × 4.5 cm, only for the situations in which the holder is not present when the application is submitted; the photographs are confirmed before the official receiving the application by the person who makes it, and must show the holder's current appearance, be taken from the front, on a clear, neutral, light-coloured background so as to allow the identification of the head outline; the holder must not have the head covered or the eyes closed and the expression must represent a common state.
- Same directorate, minors: for temporary simple passport applications for minors under 14, two photographs (3.5 × 4.5) can be submitted with the other documents, without the minor's presence at the counter being compulsory; the statements of consent and the special power of attorney must be authenticated by a notary in Romania, or by Romanian diplomatic missions or consular offices abroad.
