About the Residence card photo

Common questions
- Why does my Residence card photo keep getting rejected?
- Usually one of three things: wrong pixel size, a file size outside the accepted range, or the head too small in the frame. Measure the result before submitting — cheaper than a rejection.
- Can I take it myself?
- Yes. Face the camera, even lighting, plain background, shoulders in frame and a little space above the head. The rear camera is sharper than the front one.
- Will compressing to the limit blur it?
- A little detail is lost, but at ID-photo dimensions the result still passes review. The tool starts at high quality and steps down to the first value within range.
