Iran Student ID Photo — 30×40 mm Standard

The Iran student ID photo must meet the 30×40 mm (3×4 cm) format on a plain white background — the de facto standard adopted by every university and higher education institution in the country. While Iran has no single national regulation formally governing student identity card photographs, all institutions consistently converge on this exact format, making it straightforward to prepare a compliant image once you know the precise specifications.

What sets Iranian student ID photos apart is that the requirements come from the institution itself, not a central government authority. In practice this means two things. First, the 3×4 cm white-background format is universal — you will not find an Iranian university that deviates from it. Second, and critically, female students are required to wear hijab in the photo, with the full face clearly visible from chin to hairline. The headscarf must not obscure the eyes, cheeks, or jawline. Because the rules are institution-specific, it is worth confirming with your university's registration office — but the specifications below are accepted at virtually every Iranian university without exception.

• Size: 30×40 mm (354×472 px at 300 dpi)
• Background: plain white (#FFFFFF) — no shadows, gradients, or coloured backdrops
• Face coverage: 70–80% of the frame height, face centred
• Expression: neutral, mouth closed, both eyes fully open
• Glasses: permitted only if both eyes are entirely visible — no tinted, photochromic, or reflective lenses
• Headwear: permitted for religious reasons only; hijab is required for female students
• Recency: taken within the last 6 months

Common reasons photos are rejected at Iranian universities:

• Background is not pure white — even a faint grey tone or a shadow behind the head causes rejection
• Female student not wearing hijab, or face partially obscured by the headscarf
• Poor lighting that produces visible shadows on the face or against the background
• Glasses with tinted, photochromic, or reflective lenses that prevent a clear view of the eyes
