Emirates ID Photo Requirements

Pixels472 × 709 px
BackgroundWhite background only
GlassesNot allowed for Emirates ID or passport photos
Submission TypePrinted photo

Printing Your Photo

Glossy photo paper, 40x60mm. Digital photos accepted for some online services (600x600 pixels minimum). Cut the photo to exactly 40 x 60 mm (1.6" x 2.4") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 3 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 White background only and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your Emirates ID Photo

UAE uses the 40x60mm format (larger than European standard). For Emirates ID renewal through ICA Smart Services, digital photo upload is accepted.

Submit the printed Emirates ID photo with your application documents. Confirm with the issuing authority whether they accept a single photo or require duplicates.

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

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