How to Print ID Photos at Migros: the Jet Photo Kiosk and a 10×15 Sheet

Can You Print an ID Photo at Migros? What Is Jet Photo?

Yes, but Migros does not take the photo; what happens in the store is printing. Some large Migros stores have a self-service print machine called Jet Photo. You connect your phone by QR code or cable, or plug in a USB stick, and choose the photo and the size on the touchscreen; the machine issues a slip, you pay it at the checkout or the information desk, and the print comes out of the machine. On the Migros website the service is listed as “Fotoğraf Baskı 10X15” and “Fotoğraf Baskı 15X20” (photo print). The machines are mostly in 5M, MMM and shopping-mall Migros stores, not in small neighbourhood branches.

The key point: Jet Photo is a printer, not an ID photo studio. It prints the frame you give it; it does not check whether the background is white, whether the head is the right size for the document, or whether there is glare on glasses or a shadow on the face. Users report that some machines do not even offer an ID photo size. That is why most people who print ID photos at Migros follow the same route: prepare the photo to size at home, lay it out on a 10×15 sheet, take one standard 10×15 print and cut it. This guide follows that route: you prepare the frame with the online ID photo tool, download the 10×15 sheet with cut lines as a JPG and only print it at Migros.

Two other Migros services are easy to confuse with this. The first is Jet Photo's online printing: you buy a package with a PNR code at Migros, upload the photos to jetfoto24.com and the prints arrive by courier; the smallest 10×15 package is 25 prints, which is a lot for a single ID sheet. The second is the items listed on the site as “Jet Foto Vesikalık 2'li” and “4'lü”; the product pages do not say what they include, so ask in the store. The prices in the table were read from the Migros website on 7 October 2026; in the store, the amount scanned at the checkout applies. vesikalik.com.tr has no partnership with Migros or Jet Photo; the information on this page was compiled from public sources.

Which Migros Stores Have Jet Photo? List by Province

Migros does not publish the list of stores with Jet Photo on its website. The table is the list Migros's WhatsApp customer service sent with the reply “You can reach our stores that print photos from the list we sent below”, shared by a user on the DonanımHaber forum on 24 October 2025: 82 stores in 29 provinces. Istanbul has 23, Ankara and İzmir seven each, and the areas popular with foreign residents are on it too: Antalya, Alanya, Bodrum (Konacık), Kuşadası and Bursa. Most of the list is 5M, MMM and shopping-mall stores.

Treat the list as “call before you go”, not as a guarantee. On the same forum, users reported in March 2025 that the Meydan Istanbul store in Ümraniye had become a smaller format and the machine was removed, in July 2025 that one of the two machines at 5M Eryaman in Ankara was broken, and in October 2024 that the device at 5M Manisa was not working; several users also write that machines were removed in smaller cities. Call the store first: the phone number is next to the store name on Migros's “En Yakın Migros” (nearest store) page. Asking “Does your Jet Photo machine work, can I print a 10×15?” is enough.

If there is no store from the list near you, the same JPG sheet prints anywhere else: any photo shop, stationery shop or mall photo kiosk that prints 10×15 will do, because the file is exactly the size of the paper. To compare with what photo studios charge for ID photos, see the ID photo prices guide.

How Many ID Photos Fit on a 10×15 Print?

The paper called “10×15” in photo printing is really 4×6 inches: 101.6×152.4 mm. At 300 DPI that is 1200×1800 pixels, and the kiosk's standard 10×15 print uses this paper. The ID photos are laid out at their real size, edge to edge with no gaps, the way photo studios do it, and you cut along the shared edges. The table shows how many frames each size gives; the numbers are the layout calculation of the sheet file on this site.

On a 50×60 sheet of four, two photos side by side take 100 mm and the paper is 101.6 mm wide, which leaves about 0.8 mm on each side. Borderless printers may trim a little off the outer edge of the paper, so the sheet carries cut marks along its edges and any trimming falls on the outer background, not on the face. If you want more copies, you can send the 15×21 (6×8 in) sheet to the 15×20 print at Migros: the two papers have the same proportions and the sheet holds nine 50×60 or sixteen 35×45 frames; measure one frame with a ruler after printing all the same. If you have a printer at home, the A4 sheet holds twenty 50×60 photos.

The sheet downloads in two formats. JPG is the one you save to your phone's gallery and send to the kiosk by QR code or cable. The PDF's page size is the paper itself, which makes it right for printing at 100% on a home or studio printer, but photo kiosks cannot see a PDF. Go to Migros with the JPG. The file stays on your order page, and you can download it again as often as you like, also in a different sheet size, cut style or format.

How Do You Print a Phone Photo at Migros? Step by Step

Start with the photo itself. Take a single frame in daylight, in front of a plain wall, with the phone at eye level; light and distance are covered in the guide to taking an ID photo with a phone. Upload it to the wizard and pick the document: the Turkish residence permit, passport and driving licence need 50×60 mm, a Schengen visa needs 35×45 mm. The AI sets the crop to the document's head ratio, moves the background to white and checks the rules one by one; the analysis is free. If the result passes, you take the digital file and the “Multiple copies” card appears on your order page.

On the card, tap JPG in the “Other formats” line: the 10×15 sheet with cut lines downloads to your phone. On Android the file lands in Downloads and shows up in the gallery. On iPhone, Safari saves it to the Files app; open the file and tap “Save Image” in the share menu to move it into Photos. If you send the file to yourself on WhatsApp to save it from there, send it as a document, not as a photo; WhatsApp shrinks photos.

The machine has three ways to receive a file. The smoothest is the QR code: scan the code on the screen with your phone camera and choose the sheet on the page that opens. On a cable you need to allow file transfer on the phone; the machine then shows your folders, with camera photos in DCIM and the downloaded sheet in Download. Users mention that on some machines the Type-C port is only on one side; a USB stick works too. Once the file is selected, choose the standard 10×15 print as the size; skip the collage, calendar and card templates, keep cropping, frames, filters and auto-enhance off if offered, and set the quantity to one. When you confirm, the machine prints a slip; you pay it at the checkout or the information desk and the print follows. If no slip comes out, a staff member can approve the job on the screen.

Cut at home with a craft knife and a ruler, right on the line; scissors leave a wavy edge. Measure one frame before cutting: a 50×60 mm photo must be 5 cm by 6 cm. If it is a few millimetres larger or smaller, cropping or fit-to-page was left on at the machine; print the same file again with that setting off.

Is a Migros Print Accepted for a Residence Permit, ID or Passport?

Offices look at the photo, not at where it was printed. For the residence permit, the Turkish ID card, the passport and the driving licence the same biometric rules apply: taken within the last six months, 50×60 mm, a white or very light plain background, a neutral expression, eyes open and facing the camera, no shadows on the face and no glare on glasses. The official wording is on NVİ's biometric photo page (in Turkish), and the Presidency of Migration Management explains how photos are used in residence permit applications on its photo usage page. If the frame printed at Migros meets these rules, it is no different from a studio print; if it does not, good paper will not save it.

The most common mistake is printing a raw selfie straight from the phone and trying to cut it to size. In a selfie taken at arm's length the wide angle distorts the face, the head is too small for the frame, the background is the grey or yellow tone of the wall and side light darkens half of the face. These problems show up not at the print but at the application desk, and most rejection reasons look like the frames below. An analysis at home catches them before you print; how the background turns white is explained in the guide to making a photo background white.

One more distinction: not every application wants a print. e-Devlet and most visa portals take only a digital file. The residence permit needs both: one photo uploaded to the e-ikamet form and printed photos for the file at the appointment, so a 10×15 sheet of four covers a first application as well as a renewal. Where a print is required, the age of the photo matters; the six-month rule for IDs and passports is covered in the photo validity guide. Keep the spare frames from the same sheet and you will not need a new print for another application within six months.
