03Same country

Do not confuse it with another Tunisia document

Tunisia 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.

04What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
  • 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.

05Rejections

Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one

ReasonFix
Size not 3.5 × 4.5 cm (4.5 × 3.5 cm)Print 35 mm wide by 45 mm high.
Background not whiteUse a plain white background, evenly lit.
Not enough photos (four inside Tunisia, two at consulates) or not the same photoBring the number your office lists, identical, from one file.
Glasses worn (Paris and Canada), or a black-and-white photo (consulates ask for colour)Take the glasses off and use a colour print.
06Good to know

Tunisia-specific things to know

  • The number of photos depends on the place: four for the Ministry of the Interior inside Tunisia, two for the e-consulate and the consulates in Paris and Canada. Print four copies from one file and every post read is covered.
  • The size is written two ways — 3.5/4.5 cm and 4.5 × 3.5 cm — which is the same 35 × 45 mm photo; the consulates specify colour and, at Paris and Canada, no glasses.
  • No page read gives a rule on headscarves or head coverings. A woman who wears a headscarf should ask her consulate before the shoot; a bare-faced frontal photo with the whole face visible is the baseline.
07Printing

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.

10 × 15 cm · 4 × 6″Photos: 8 (4 × 2)

A4 · 21 × 29.7 cmPhotos: 36 (6 × 6)

08Source

Where these numbers come from

Source: Ministry of the Interior of Tunisia and the Tunisian e-consulate (Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.

What the source confirms

  • Ministry of the Interior (services.interieur.gov.tn), documents for a passport — first issuance, renewal, replacement: a machine-readable passport form, a copy of the national identity card (or a birth extract for minors), «4 photos with the following characteristics: white background, format 3.5/4.5 cm», proof of schooling for pupils and students, a guardian's authorisation for minors, and the stamp duty; the old passport for a renewal.
  • e-Consulat (Tunisians abroad), passport issuance and renewal — adult, student, child: «Two identity photographs (in colour, with white background; dimensions 4.5×3.5 cm)», the form signed in the reserved box, a copy of the identity card, proof of work or schooling, a copy of the valid residence card, and payment of chancery fees; for a renewal the old passport.
  • Consulate General of Tunisia in Paris (children's passport) and the Consulate in Canada: «Two identity photographs (in colour, without glasses and with white background; dimensions 4.5×3.5 cm)»; Canada lists chancery fees of CAD 37 for the passport with a parental authorisation and a birth extract.
  • Both sizes written — 3.5/4.5 cm and 4.5 × 3.5 cm — describe the same print, 35 mm wide by 45 mm high; no page read gives a face height, a head-covering rule or a maximum age for the photo.
