Non-neutral expression — Smiling, frowning, or open mouth will be rejected; expression must be neutral
Incorrect dimensions — Photo must be exactly 35x45mm with face measuring 32-36mm from chin to hairline
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 6 months and reflect your current appearance

Frequently Asked Questions
What size photo do I need for an Israel ID card (Teudat Zehut)?
The Israel ID card requires a 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm) photo. Your face from chin to hairline must measure between 32mm and 36mm within the photo.
Can I wear glasses in my Israel ID photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed in biometric ID photos. This applies to all eyeglasses including prescription glasses. If you cannot remove glasses for medical reasons, you may need a signed doctor's statement.
What background color is required for an Israel ID photo?
The background must be plain white or light gray with no shadows, patterns, or other objects. Colored backgrounds will be rejected.
Do I need to bring photos to the Population and Immigration Authority office?
For in-person applications at Population and Immigration Authority bureaus, biometric photos are taken on-site at no extra charge. However, for online applications, you must upload a compliant photo yourself.
How does the Israel ID photo compare to US passport photo size?
The Israel ID photo is 35x45mm (about 1.4x1.8 inches), which is smaller than the US passport photo at 2x2 inches (51x51mm). Israel follows the common European format used by most countries worldwide.
Can I wear a head covering in my Israel ID photo?
Head coverings are only allowed for religious or medical reasons. The covering must not obscure your forehead or chin. You may need to provide a signed statement confirming it is part of recognized traditional religious attire.
