Compliance Thresholds

These are the official measurements your photo must meet to avoid rejection:

Head Height

73% – 88% of image height

Printing Your Photo

Photo paper, 35x45mm. Head height 25-35mm from chin to crown. Cut the photo to exactly 30 x 40 mm (1.2" x 1.6") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 10 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 plain white and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your ID Card 30x40mm Photo

South Korea is strict about digital retouching. Photo studios near immigration offices and government buildings are familiar with the specific requirements.

South Korea ID Card 30x40mm 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.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Ears hidden by hair
  • Background not pure white
  • Heavy makeup
  • Colored contact lenses
  • Photo retouched or filtered
  • Head too small (under 73%) or too large (over 88%) relative to photo height
  • Photo not cut to exact 30 x 40 mm dimensions
  • Non-neutral facial expression or wide smile
  • Shadows on face from poor lighting
  • Red-eye or flash glare on face or glasses
  • Head tilted or turned away from camera
