Requirements checklist

Long edge 60 mm, short edge 50 mm — portrait orientation.
Head height 32-36 mm — 53-60% of the frame, a lower ratio than Schengen.
Four true-size 50×60 mm photos fit on a 10×15 print sheet.
Civil registry scanners default to 300 DPI; 600 DPI is future-proof for archive.
A very light grey background is accepted, but white is always safe.
A slightly warm colour balance before print keeps ink shift under control.

50×60 mm: Turkey's Official Biometric Size (2026)

50×60mm Photo: Correct and Incorrect Examples

Nine frames of the same person: the first one follows the rules, the other eight show the mistakes that get applications rejected most often. When you upload your own photo, the AI checks for exactly these errors in seconds.

Correct Incorrect Image licence terms

Head tilted

Harsh side light
Oversized jewellery

The 50×60 mm format is the official Turkish biometric size, jointly used by the General Directorate of Civil Registration and the Traffic Services of the General Directorate of Security. ID cards, driving licences, marriage booklets and domestic passport transactions all use this size — the 35×45 mm size is required only for the international passport page.

Head height stays in the 32–36 mm band; but because the canvas is larger than 35×45, the head covers 53-60% of the frame height — the most common mistake by someone used to Schengen framing is cropping the head too large on this wider canvas. The comparative list is in the full table of document photo sizes.

How Many Pixels Is 50×60 mm? (≈591×709 and 1181×1417)

Photo sizes used in Turkey and their pixel equivalents
Size	300 DPI	600 DPI	Used for
50×60 mm biometric	≈591×709 px	1181×1417 px	NVİ ID card / driving licence / domestic passport
50×60 mm biometric	≈591×709 px	1181×1417 px	Firearms licence (dark clothing) / ÖGG card (light clothing)
50×60 mm biometric	≈591×709 px	1181×1417 px	Student ID / marriage booklet
35×45 mm ICAO	413×531 px	827×1063 px	International passport chip photo, Schengen visa
4.5×6 cm classic	531×709 px	1063×1417 px	Job, school, institution files (non-biometric)

The direct calculation is 590.55×708.66 px at 300 DPI, or **about 591×709 px** when rounded to the nearest pixel. The value used across the site is 591×709; tools that round down write 590×708 for the same size, and both describe the same approximate 50×60 mm conversion. At 600 DPI the result is 1181×1417 px.

A white background is safe at every agency; very light grey is also accepted. A slightly warm colour balance before print compensates for ink-caused cool toning — vesikalik.com.tr applies this calibration automatically on print output.

One Photo, Four Different Documents

The practical advantage of 50×60 mm is its multi-use nature: a single correctly shot frame can serve ID renewal, a driving licence application, the marriage booklet and passport transactions at the same time. **All Turkish official documents require glasses to be removed** (a joint NVİ + EGM rule since 2016); vesikalik.com.tr detects glasses across all document types with a single check.

A separate rule applies to firearms licences and private security IDs (which share the same 50×60 mm biometric size but require **dark** or **light** clothing respectively — see firearms and ÖGG pages). The photo being taken within the last 6 months is shared across NVİ/EGM/passport; firearms permits accept 1 year. A neutral expression, closed mouth, open eyes and shadow-free lighting are invariable across all documents. Every document size is listed on the Turkish biometric photo sizes by document page. The full country breakdown is in the visa photo sizes by country guide.

The 4-up Print Layout on a 10×15 Sheet

A 4-photo layout on a 10×15 sheet is the standard Turkish print arrangement: used as 2 for the civil registry, 1 for traffic and 1 for archive/duplicate, no agency should ever ask for more photos afterwards. vesikalik.com.tr's print package produces this layout with cut marks and cutting tolerances included; no photographer or print shop is required.

For a home shoot, a single frame in front of a plain wall with the phone at eye level is enough; the AI auto-frames the crop to the 53-60% head ratio, cleans the background and prepares both the digital file and the print sheet within minutes. Prints ship to your address within Turkey.

Do's and Don'ts

Do

Use a white or very light grey, shadow-free background
Keep your head upright; head height must stay within 32-36 mm
Use a recent frame taken within the last 6 months
Neutral expression: mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera
Prefer a plain top in dark or mid tones

Don't

No smiling, open mouth or raised eyebrows — keep the expression neutral
Do not shoot with glasses; they are not accepted for ID cards and passports
Do not let the head cover more than 60% of the frame
Do not use shadowed, patterned or coloured backgrounds
Do not apply filters, retouching or beauty effects

FAQ

How do I print the resulting PNG?

The PNG keeps the aspect ratio of your chosen document (e.g. 50×60 mm ≈ 600×720 px, 35×45 mm ≈ 560×720 px, US square visa 720×720; long side ~720 px / ~300 DPI). Two options: after payment download the clean digital file and print at a photo shop or home printer, or order an auto-laid-out 10×15 print sheet for delivery from the site.

What are the Turkish ID photo size and requirements?

The standard size for the Turkish ID card is 50×60 mm biometric; the background must be white or very light grey, expression neutral, eyes open and looking straight at the camera, no glare on glasses. The civil registry usually accepts a single biometric photo; if you are also getting a driving licence or passport in the same period, a 10×15 print sheet is a practical option. Just pick the "TR ID" preset in the wizard.

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 is the 50x60 mm photo in pixels?

For 50×60 mm our output file has the long side at ~720 px, giving roughly 600×720 pixels at ~300 DPI (the classic 300 DPI calculation is ~591×709 for reference; same physical size, slightly different math). On the 10×15 print sheet this frame is tiled with several copies alongside it; you can also take the digital file to a photo shop for a traditional print. Our tool outputs the ~300 DPI PNG and, optionally, prepares the 10×15 sheet.

Do I have a right of withdrawal or refund?

Printed photos are custom-made from your own picture and the digital file is delivered instantly once payment is confirmed, so under Turkish distance-selling law (Art. 15) both are exempt from the right of withdrawal; you are clearly informed of this during checkout. For damaged or misprinted products you are of course entitled to a free reprint or a refund. That is why we recommend checking the result with the free analysis and watermarked preview before paying.

When will my printed photos arrive?

Once your payment is confirmed, your sheet is printed and dispatched by the method you chose: cargo delivery covers all of Turkey, while in served regions orders paid before the announced cut-off time aim for next-day courier delivery. Tracking information is sent by email, and you can follow the order status on the orders page of your account. If you are in a hurry, the digital file can be downloaded instantly.

Can I use the same photo for multiple documents?

Yes — a single well-taken frame can serve as the source for ID card, passport, driving licence and most visas. However, since each document has its own size, crop and head ratio, one file cannot be submitted everywhere: for each document simply pick the relevant preset in the wizard and upload the same photo again; the system regenerates the crop and background for that document. For people renewing ID + passport + driving licence at the same time, the 10×15 print sheet is a practical solution.

How much does an ID photo cost? (2026)

Photo analysis and the biometric compliance check are completely free. Digital file and print prices are below — identical to the live prices in the order wizard.
