Congo national ID card photos must be 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm). This is the standard biometric photo size used across most African and European countries.
Can I wear glasses in my Congo ID photo?

What background color is required?
A plain white background is required. The background must be free of patterns, shadows, reflections, or any other markings.
