What these millimetres work out to

  • In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–70% is 31.5–31.5 mm from the chin to the crown.
  • Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 13.5–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
  • At 300 dpi that is a head 372–372 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.

03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: suitable plain background, correct lighting, and biometric quality.
  • 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.

05Good to know

Slovenia-specific things to know

  • Slovenia names the face as 70 % of the photograph measured from the crown to the chin on a 3.5 × 4.5 cm photo, and gives no colour for the background — only «suitable» — and no age limit.
  • An e-photographer can replace the print: the photographer gives a confirmation with a reference number, and the photograph is kept digitally in a special repository.
  • The page read is a short answer dated 15 July 2015, so details such as the background or the age of the photo are not stated.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms

  • eUprava, frequently asked question «What photo is suitable for the issue of a passport?» (translated from the Slovenian, 15 July 2015): one photograph of 3.5 × 4.5 cm must be attached to the application and must show your true likeness; you must be photographed from the front, with the forehead uncovered, without a hat, cap or scarf, except in an exception; the face from the crown to the chin must take up 70 % of the whole photograph.
  • Same answer: the photograph must also have a suitable background, light and resolution; it must be suitable for biometric capture, so the size and position of the face and the expression matter — the expression must be neutral and the mouth closed; with the application you may also submit the confirmation of an e-photographer with the reference number of the photograph, which is kept in a special repository in digital form.
