Glasses reflection or obstruction — Frames obscure eyes or lenses have visible reflections
Non-neutral expression — Smiling, frowning, or mouth open causes biometric recognition issues
Shadows on face or background — Face must be evenly lit with no shadows under eyes or chin
Head not centered or tilted — Head must be straight, centered, and looking directly at camera
Digital alterations detected — AI systems detect retouching or filters and reject automatically

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Belgian passport photo?
Belgian passport photos are 35mm x 45mm, the standard biometric size used across the European Union. The head must measure 31mm to 34mm from chin to crown.
Can I wear glasses in my Belgian passport photo?
Yes, everyday glasses are allowed but with conditions: frames cannot obscure your eyes, and lenses must not have any reflections or glare. To avoid issues, consider removing glasses for the photo.
Can I smile in my Belgian passport photo?
No. You must have a neutral expression with your mouth closed. Smiling, frowning, or grimacing can cause biometric recognition issues and will be rejected.
How is a Belgian passport photo different from a US passport photo?
Belgian photos are 35x45mm (taller rectangle) while US photos are 2x2 inches (51x51mm square). Belgium allows glasses with conditions; the US does not allow glasses at all.
Can I wear a headscarf or religious head covering?
Yes, if it is part of your everyday religious attire worn in public. However, the head covering must not cover any part of your face, and your full face must be visible.
What background color is required?
A plain white background is required. The background must be free of shadows, spots, patterns, or any other objects.
