Common Reasons Photos Get Rejected
Glasses
Wrong head size
Wrong background
Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Wrong photo size — Estonian passport photos must be 40×50mm, not the common 35×45mm used by most European countries
Busy or dark background — Background must be light and a single solid colour with no patterns or objects
Digital retouching — Editing, filtering, or removing blemishes from the photo is not allowed; the photo must show your natural appearance
Glare on glasses — If wearing prescription glasses, lens reflections or frames covering the eyes will cause rejection
Head tilted or not centered — Face must be centered, head level, looking directly at the camera
Scanned or screenshot photo — A photo of a photo, scanned print, or screenshot is not accepted
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 40 × 50 mm (1.6" × 2").
