Frequently Asked Questions
What size photo do I need for the Botswana Omang ID card?
The Botswana Omang requires passport-sized photos measuring 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm). This is the standard passport photo size used in most African and European countries.
Does the Omang ID photo need to be black and white or color?
The Omang national ID card requires black and white photos, not color. This is different from the Botswana passport which requires color photos. Make sure your photo is in grayscale/black and white format.
How many photos do I need for an Omang application?
You need 2 recent black and white passport-sized photographs for an Omang application. Both photos should be identical and taken within the last 6 months.
Can I wear glasses in my Omang ID photo?
It is recommended to remove glasses for your Omang photo unless you require them for medical reasons. If you must wear glasses, ensure there is no glare on the lenses and your eyes are clearly visible.
What is the difference between Omang and passport photo requirements?
The main difference is color: Omang ID photos must be black and white, while Botswana passport photos must be in full color. Both use the same 35x45mm size and white background.
Who needs an Omang ID card in Botswana?
Every Botswana citizen aged 16 and above is required by law to have an Omang national identity card. The card is valid for 10 years before it needs to be renewed.
