How it works

Passolig Card Photo — 600×771 px, 75% Head Ratio, White Background — get it right in 4 steps.

  1. Shoot in front of a white background with a neutral expression

    Phone at eye level; face towards the camera, hair off the face. Hats, scarves and team accessories come off during the shoot — the card photo is treated like an ID photo.

  2. Upload the photo and get the biometric check

    The AI checks the 35:45 composition, the ~75% head ratio, the top margin, background cleanliness and sharpness; it auto-aligns the crop and recommends a retake on failing frames.

  3. Download the 600×771 px file

    The processed photo downloads as an exact 600×771 pixel JPEG — ready for the photo step at passolig.com.tr or in the Passo app.

Why Does the Passolig Photo Matter? Card + Turnstile Matching (2026)

Passolig is the electronic ticket card mandatory for entering professional football matches in Türkiye under Law No. 6222, and the application is made fully online at passolig.com.tr or via the Passo app. The uploaded photo works in two places: it is **printed on the card** and used as the **reference for identity/face verification at stadium entrances**. Security compares your face against the card at the turnstile; a blurry, old or angled photo becomes a query right at kick-off time.

Passolig's recommended upload size is **600×771 pixels** — this ratio (35:45) is exactly the same as Türkiye's standard ID photo size. A single frame shot with the right composition therefore feeds the Passolig upload as well as other documents like the ID card and the student card.

Head Ratio 75% and Top Margin 7%: the Composition Rules

Correct and incorrect Passolig card photo examples: compliant 600×771 px shot vs smiling, glasses glare and shadowed background errors
Correct (✓): light background, neutral expression, no glasses. Wrong (✕): smiling, glasses glare, shadowed background.

The distinctive rule of the Passolig upload guide is composition: **the head should fill about 75% of the photo height**, with **~7% space** above the head. In selfie-style close-ups the head does not fit the frame; in distant shots the face stays small and the face-matching algorithm struggles. Both lead to the system rejecting the photo or to a poor card print.

vesikalik.com.tr sets these ratios automatically: face detection measures the chin-crown points, the crop is aligned to the 75% head ratio and 7% top margin targets, and the background is AI-cleaned to plain white. The analysis report shows the head ratio, eye line and background as separate lines — you know what passes before you upload.

Application Flow: passolig.com.tr, Passo and Card Types

Passolig card types and photo requirements (2026)
Card typeWho it is forPhoto note
AdultOver 18600×771 px, white background, current
StudentWith a student certificateSame standard; discounted ticket right
ChildUnder 18 (parental consent)Same composition; photo currency matters
Photo updateExisting card holdersCan be changed in the Passo app

The application asks for the Turkish ID number, contact details, team preference and the photo; the card is issued by Aktif Bank and shipped to your address, while the digital card works instantly in the Passo app. For children's cards photo currency matters especially — a child's face changes fast, and an old photo creates a mismatch at the turnstile.

Existing card holders can update their photo in the Passo app; replacing the hastily uploaded first-application selfie with a proper biometric frame is the second most common operation. A 35×45 print can also be ordered from the same shot — closing off tasks that require a physical photo, like driving licences and institutional cards, at the same time.

Tips for a Smooth Pass on Match Day

Verification at the turnstile compares your current appearance against the photo on the card/in the system. If the photo is current and sharp, the pass takes seconds. If your look has changed substantially (growing/shaving a beard, hair colour, glasses), updating the photo is wise. Posing in a team shirt is not forbidden, but a plain-coloured top is safer for background contrast and face detection.

If an ID renewal is also coming up while preparing the Passolig photo, combining the two is practical: the Turkish ID card photo follows the 50×60 biometric standard and can be produced from the same shot. The same applies to the student card, the driving licence and the passport — one shoot feeds all document photos.

FAQ

How does vesikalik.com.tr work?
Choose the size for your document type, then upload a photo or take one with your browser camera. Our AI checks biometric rules (sharpness, pose, expression, lighting, background); if the photo passes, it removes the background and produces a print-ready ID photo in your selected aspect ratio. You can download the digital file or order a 10×15 print sheet for delivery — no account required.
Should I remove glasses for the photo?
For Turkish ID cards, passports and most visa applications glasses should be removed; lens glare, tinted lenses or thick frames can cause rejection. Our analysis flags glare, dark lenses and thick frames as warnings. Prescription glasses without glare may be allowed for driving licences in some cases, but shooting without glasses is safest.
What should I pay attention to when taking the photo?
Stand in even natural light in front of a plain light background (white or light grey) and avoid harsh side shadows. Face the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open and no smile; keep your head upright and make sure hair does not cover the face or eyebrows. Wear plain clothing and avoid glare on glasses — our analysis measures each of these criteria automatically and warns you before you commit.
What is a biometric photo and what are its sizes?
A biometric photo is an official ID photo that presents facial features (eye distance, chin-to-forehead ratio, head height) according to international ICAO 9303 rules. In Türkiye 50×60 mm is standard for ID cards, passports and driving licences; 35×45 mm is the common international size for visas and passports (the US visa is 51×51 mm square). Pick the document in our wizard and the correct size, background and head-height rules are applied automatically.
What is a standard ID (vesikalık) photo?
The standard vesikalık photo size is 4.5×6 cm and is used for job applications, school enrolment, notary documents, exam registration and similar procedures; a white background, a clear face and a neutral expression are enough. For official biometric applications (ID, passport, driving licence) the 50×60 mm biometric size is required — most people like to keep both formats on hand. Both presets live in the wizard, and after payment several copies can be tiled onto the 10×15 print sheet.
What colour clothing should I wear for a biometric photo?
Since the background is white or very light grey, avoid white and cream tops — the collar blends into the background and the face edges disappear. Dark and mid tones (navy, charcoal, burgundy, dark green) increase contrast and define facial features. Uniforms, camouflage, religious/military insignia and large logos are rejected for most official documents; a plain single-colour tee, shirt or sweater is the safest choice.

How much does an ID photo cost? (2026)
