What size is a Polish passport photo?
A Polish passport photo is 35×45 mm — the standard EU/ICAO biometric size. The face must occupy 70–80% of the photo height. The same spec applies to the Polish dowód osobisty (national ID card).
Where do I apply for a Polish passport?
Inside Poland: any urząd wojewódzki (provincial office) or urząd miasta — book online via gov.pl. Outside Poland: Polish consulates worldwide. The 35×45 mm photo spec is identical at both. Bring 2 printed copies.
Can I wear glasses for a Polish passport photo?
No. Polish passport rules prohibit eyeglasses, including prescription glasses. Sunglasses or tinted lenses are never accepted. Medical-necessity exceptions require a doctor's certificate.
What background color does a Polish passport photo need?
Plain white only. The Polish urzÄ…d offices reject light grey, off-white, or any color cast. The white must be uniform with no patterns or shadows.
How recent must a Polish passport photo be?
Within the last 6 months. Polish authorities check for recent likeness — outdated photos are rejected at the appointment.
Where can I get a Polish passport photo taken?
In Poland: photo studios near every urząd take Polish-spec photos for 30–60 PLN. Pasaport-photo machines (Foto-Box) in train stations also work. Outside Poland: format yourself with the 35×45 mm spec and bring printed copies to the Polish consulate.
