Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Czech ID card photo?
The Czech ID card (Občanský průkaz) requires a 35x45mm biometric photo. This is the standard European ID photo format, identical to Czech passport and driving licence photos.
Can I wear glasses in my Czech ID photo?
No, glasses should be removed for Czech ID card photos unless you have a medical reason that prevents removal. If worn, frames must not cover any part of the eyes and there should be no reflections on the lenses.
What background color is required for Czech ID photos?
A plain white or light grey background is required. The background must be uniform without patterns, shadows, or other objects.
Can I take the photo myself or do I need to go to the office?
You can bring your own compliant photo, but most Czech municipal offices (úřady) also take digital photos on-site during your appointment. If bringing your own, ensure it meets all biometric requirements.
How long is a Czech ID card valid?
Validity depends on age: 5 years for under 15, 10 years for ages 15-70, and 35 years for those over 70. Persons over 12 who cannot provide fingerprints receive a 1-year validity.
