Printing Your Photo
For mail-in applications, print your photo on 4×6 photo paper at any drugstore. Our download includes a print-ready template with multiple photos — you only need 2 for most applications.
Use matte photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 35 × 45 mm (1.4" × 1.8").

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Belgian ID card photo?
Belgian eID photos must be 35x45mm (3.5x4.5 cm). This is the standard European biometric photo size, the same as for Belgian passports.
Can I wear glasses in my Belgian eID photo?
It's strongly recommended to remove glasses. If you wear glasses, they cannot have reflections or glare, and the frames cannot obscure your eyes. To avoid rejection, take them off unless medically required.
What background colour is required?
A uniform light colour is required — white, light grey, light yellow, or light blue. The background must have no shadows, patterns, or gradations.
Can I wear a headscarf or head covering?
Headwear is only allowed for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must remain visible from chin to forehead, and the covering cannot cast shadows on your face.
How recent must my photo be?
Your photo must be taken within the last 6 months and accurately reflect your current appearance.
