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 35 × 45 mm (1.4" × 1.8").

Paper size 4×6 inches

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is an Italian passport photo?

35×45mm (3.5×4.5cm). This is the standard European biometric format following ICAO guidelines, different from the US 2×2 inch size.

Can I wear glasses in my Italian passport photo?

Yes, but with conditions. Lenses must be clear (not tinted), frames cannot cover any part of your eyes, and there must be no flash reflections on the lenses.

What background color is required?

Plain white background with uniform lighting. No patterns, shadows, or other objects in the background.

Is Italian passport photo the same as Schengen visa photo?

Yes, Italy uses the standard European 35×45mm biometric format for passports, ID cards, and Schengen visas.

Can I wear a head covering?

Only if justified by religious reasons. Your face contours from chin to forehead and both sides must remain clearly visible.
