A document photo is a headache of its own
A Turkmenistan National ID card photo has strict requirements, and a mistake costs time and money. We’ll show you how to pass on the first try.
It gets rejected
Wrong size, background or cropping — and the system returns the application.
Expensive and slow
A trip to a photo studio means a queue, time and €7–12 for a reshoot.
Confusing requirements
Exact size, head height, light background, facial expression — easy to get wrong.
Redo it all over
Rejected — take another photo, pay and submit again. Round and round.

Your National ID card photo: what matters
A photo for the Turkmenistan national ID card (şahsýetnama) must meet the unified 3×4 cm color photo standard applied by Turkmenistan's civil registration authorities to both the internal identity document and the foreign passport. Submit a photo that matches this standard exactly and it will be accepted without revision on the first attempt.
One detail worth knowing: Turkmenistan does not issue a separate biometric plastic card with its own distinct photo specification. The internal identity document shares the same 3×4 cm format as the foreign passport — meaning the requirements are unified across both documents. This is different from many countries where the internal ID and the travel passport have different photo dimensions or background rules. The standard calls for a plain white background (#FFFFFF) with no gradients, shadows, or patterns behind the subject. Any off-white, cream, or light-grey backdrop is grounds for rejection.
- Print size: 30 × 40 mm (3 × 4 cm)
- Digital resolution: 709 × 945 px
- Background: solid white (#FFFFFF), no shadows or gradients
- Face coverage: face fills 70–80% of the frame height
- Expression: neutral, mouth closed, no smiling
- Glasses: not permitted
- Head covering: permitted for religious reasons only; face must be fully visible
- Photo recency: taken within the last 6 months
- Color: full color, no black-and-white or sepia
- Common reasons photos are rejected in Turkmenistan:
- Background is off-white or has visible shadows behind the head — the standard requires pure white (#FFFFFF) only
- Glasses of any kind (including non-prescription fashion frames) are present — they are not permitted under this standard
- Face proportion is outside the 70–80% height range — too distant or too close a crop
- Head covering worn for non-religious reasons, or religious covering obscures any part of the face
To get a ready-to-submit photo, upload any well-lit portrait taken on your phone or camera. Your image is automatically cropped and scaled to the exact 30×40 mm / 709×945 px standard, the background is replaced with pure white, and the face proportion is checked against the 70–80% rule. You receive a free watermarked preview before any payment — so you can confirm it looks right at no cost. If you pay and the authority rejects the photo for a technical reason covered by the standard, it will be redone free of charge or refunded in full. You pay only for the final file, only when you are satisfied.
How we make your National ID card photo meet the official standard — Turkmenistan, 30 × 40 mm

- 1We crop and size your photo to the exact millimetre and pixel dimensions the authority requires.
- 2We check the background, head position, gaze and lighting, and flag glasses or head coverings that are not allowed.
- 3We match the rules to the specific document and country, citing the official source of those requirements.
- 4If anything does not meet the standard, you get a free re-do or your money back.

A digital photo is normal, and it gets accepted — Turkmenistan, 30 × 40 mm
You do not need a trip to a studio. Authorities accept any National ID card photo that meets the official requirements — what matters is the standard, not where the photo was made. We match that standard exactly.
The standard is what counts
Officials check your photo against the rules — size, background, head position and lighting — not where you took it.
Part of official processes
Many passport, visa and ID services let you upload a digital photo or submit a print — both are fine when they meet the spec.
Same result as a studio
We prepare your file to the exact official measurements, so it is accepted just like a professional studio photo.
And you are covered
If a photo is ever rejected for not meeting the requirements, we redo it for free or refund you.
How to take a good photo
