Printing Your Photo

Matte or semi-gloss photo paper, 35x45mm. Cut the photo to exactly 35 x 45 mm (1.4" x 1.8") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 8 photos at this size — a cost-effective option at any photo kiosk or home printer. Leave a small margin between cuts.

The background must be Light grey or white background and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your ID Card Photo

Austria ID Card photos are typically submitted in person at a government office. Staff may photograph you on-site, but bringing a printed photo prepared to spec can speed up the process.

Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 6 months.

For the most current requirements, refer to the official government source before submitting.
