About this tool
UAE typing centres and visa agents work to a 43 x 55 mm photo on a white background for passports, visas and Emirates ID paperwork, though ICP's own published guidance has quoted a narrower width. Because a wrong photo means a rejected application, check what your typing centre or the ICP smart service asks for before printing a batch. Here the crop is 508 x 650 pixels at 300 DPI, and four fit on a 4x6 print.
How to use this tool

- Crop to 43 x 55 mmPosition the head in the guide; confirm the size your typing centre or the ICP service asks for first.
- Print or uploadPrint the 4-photo sheet for the typing centre, or upload the file to the smart service.
UAE photo requirements and digital uploads
ICP smart services accept digital photos with minimum pixel dimensions and a maximum file size, so for online applications the upload matters more than the print. Use a plain white background, a neutral expression and even lighting. This page's address still contains its old size; the photo it produces is the 43 x 55 mm convention.
Checking the size with your typing centre
UAE typing centres and visa agents generally print 43 x 55 mm photos on a white background, while ICP’s own guidance has quoted a narrower width at times. Because the typing centre is usually the one submitting your application, ask which size they need before you print a batch.
For Emirates ID and residence visa renewals, a recent photo with a neutral expression, even lighting and no shadows on the white background is what is checked. Print the 4-photo sheet, and keep the digital file for any smart-service application you submit yourself.
