Lebanon Student ID Photo — Exact 35×45 mm Standard

Lebanese universities and schools accept student ID photos that meet the internationally recognised passport-style standard: 35×45 mm (413×531 px) on a plain white background, with a neutral expression and the face filling between 56% and 78% of the frame height. Getting these proportions precisely right is what determines whether your photo passes at the registrar's desk on the first try.

Lebanon has no single centralised authority that mandates one national student ID photo format. Every institution — from the American University of Beirut and Lebanese American University to regional public schools — sets its own requirements independently. In practice, virtually all Lebanese educational institutions converge on the same 35×45 mm white-background passport-style photo as their accepted default. This means the standard you need is well-defined, even though it is enforced institution by institution rather than through a national decree. When in doubt, always confirm with your specific registrar, but a properly prepared 35×45 mm photo will be accepted at the overwhelming majority of Lebanese academic institutions.

• Size: 35×45 mm (digital: 413×531 px at 300 dpi)
• Background: pure white (#FFFFFF) — no off-white, cream, or grey
• Face coverage: face height must fill 56–78% of the total frame height
• Expression: neutral, mouth closed, no smile
• Glasses: permitted only if both eyes are fully visible; no tinted lenses, no glare, no thick frames that obscure the eyes
• Headwear: not allowed except for religious reasons; must not cast shadows on the face
• Recency: taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance
• Lighting: even, shadow-free; face and background both clearly lit

• Common reasons student ID photos are rejected in Lebanon:
• Off-white or grey background: many photos printed at local studios or phone booths have a slightly warm or grey cast rather than true white — institutions reject these on sight
• Face too small or too large: without precise cropping tools, the face often falls outside the 56–78% height requirement, causing an automatic rejection
• Glasses with glare or tinted lenses: even slightly reflective lenses are flagged, as they prevent clear eye identification required for the student record
• Shadow on the background or face: a common issue with home or poorly lit studio shots; shadows break the white-background requirement even when the background itself is white

Upload your photo and it is automatically cropped and adjusted to the exact 35×45 mm white-background standard — face centred, proportions correct, background pure white. Before you spend anything, you receive a free watermarked preview so you can confirm the result yourself. Pay only for the final, print-ready file. And if your institution rejects the photo for any technical reason, we redo it free of charge or refund you in full. No risk, no repeat trips to a studio — just a photo that meets the standard the first time you hand it in.
