The specification

What a Israel Visa & Israeli Passport photo has to be

Every figure below is quoted from the issuing authority, and the source is linked at the bottom of this section. Where the official sources do not agree, we say so instead of picking one.

Photo size50 x 50 mm · 1.97 x 1.97 in
Head heightNot published officially: we verify it against your consulate at the session.
Eye positionNot published officially: we verify it against your consulate at the session.
BackgroundWhite
GlassesNot published officially: we verify it against your consulate at the session.
ExpressionFull front view of the face
How recentRecent, no interval is published by the Israeli MFA consular pages.
Digital fileNot published officially: we verify it against your consulate at the session.
Copies neededTwo recent DUPLICATE photos: two identical prints, not two different frames
The official sources disagreeThe Israeli Population and Immigration Authority publishes a detailed biometric facial-image standard covering head height, glasses, head covering and expression, which we could not retrieve. The consular pages state only size, background and "full front view". We shoot to the ICAO standard those rules derive from and confirm at your session.
Note on the size5 x 5 cm. Square, but metric, see the gotcha.
What gets photos rejected

The things that actually fail

Not general advice, just the specific traps in this document’s own rules.

  • 5 x 5 cm is NOT 2 x 2 inches. Two inches is 50.8 mm, so a US-standard 2x2 is about 0.8 mm oversized on each side. US labs print 2x2 and it is usually accepted in practice, but the published requirement is metric and we cut to it.
  • The word "duplicate" is doing work: the consulate wants two identical prints from one frame.
  • Applicants must appear in person at the Israeli consulate, by appointment.
Reserve a time

Hold a time, and it’s yours.

Get it right the first time.

We shoot it, check it against Israel Visa & Israeli Passport’s own specification, and you leave with a photo that passes. If it is ever rejected, we reshoot it free.
