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 glossy photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 40 × 60 mm (1.6" × 2.4").

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Egypt ID card photo?
The Egypt national ID card photo must be 40x60mm (4x6cm). This is the same size used for Egyptian passports and visas — a standard format across all Egyptian government documents.
How does the Egypt ID photo compare to a US passport photo?
The Egyptian ID photo is 40x60mm (approximately 1.57x2.36 inches), which is taller and narrower than the US passport photo (2x2 inches / 51x51mm). You cannot use a US passport photo for an Egyptian ID card.
Can I wear glasses in my Egypt ID photo?
No. You must remove eyeglasses for the photo unless you have a signed doctor's note explaining why you cannot remove them for medical reasons. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are never allowed.
What background color is required?
A plain white background is required. The background must be free of shadows, patterns, or other objects. Make sure your clothing contrasts with the white background — avoid wearing white tops.
Can I wear a hijab or head covering in the photo?
Yes, religious head coverings such as a hijab are permitted as long as your full face from forehead to chin is clearly visible and not obscured.
How many photos do I need for an Egypt ID card application?
You typically need 2–3 identical photos for the application. However, note that for in-person applications at Egyptian civil registry offices, photos may be captured digitally on-site.
