Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Wrong photo size — Photo must be exactly 30x40mm (3x4 cm), not the standard 35x45mm used in many other countries
Non-white background — Background must be plain white or off-white with no shadows, patterns, or textures
Wearing glasses with glare — Glasses must not obscure eyes or create reflections; remove them if possible
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 6 months reflecting your current appearance
Head not centered — Face must be directly facing the camera, fully visible and centered in the frame
Retouched or altered photo — No digital editing, filters, or blemish removal allowed; photo must show natural appearance
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 30 × 40 mm (1.2" × 1.6").

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is an Ethiopian passport photo?
Ethiopian passport photos must be 30x40mm (3x4 cm). This is smaller than the 35x45mm standard used by many European countries and the 2x2 inch (51x51mm) US standard.
Can I wear glasses in my Ethiopian passport photo?
Glasses are generally not recommended. If you must wear them for medical reasons, ensure they do not obscure your eyes or create glare. It is safest to remove them entirely.
What background color is required for an Ethiopian passport photo?
A plain white or off-white background is required. There should be no shadows, patterns, or textures visible behind you.
Can I wear a head covering in my Ethiopian passport photo?
Head coverings are only allowed for religious or medical reasons. You must provide a signed statement confirming the head covering is part of recognized traditional religious attire worn continuously in public, or a doctor's statement for medical purposes.
How recent does my Ethiopian passport photo need to be?
Your photo must be taken within the last 6 months and accurately reflect your current appearance. An older photo that no longer looks like you will be rejected.
