UAE Passport & Emirates ID Photo Generator

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) and GDRFA enforce the official 43 mm wide by 55 mm high (4.3 × 5.5 cm) standard for Emirates ID cards and UAE national passports.

Our editor provides the specific 43 × 55 mm ratio template and measurement bounds to ensure your face covers 70% to 80% of the frame (approximately 35 mm to 40 mm) against a pristine white background.

Official UAE Passport & Emirates ID Rules (ICP Standard)

• Physical Dimensions: Exactly 43 mm wide by 55 mm high (4.3 × 5.5 cm, 508 × 650 px at 300 DPI).
• Face Dimension: 35 mm to 40 mm from chin tip to top of skull (70% to 80% of total height).
• Background: Solid plain white background without patterns, shadows, or gradients.
• Facial Expression: Neutral demeanor with mouth closed and eyes looking directly forward.
• Attire: Traditional national dress (Kandura / Abaya) or formal business attire contrasting with the white backdrop. White shirts without a jacket are not accepted.
• Eyeglasses: Removing glasses is strongly recommended to eliminate lens reflection and eye obscuration.

Consider an applicant preparing photos for an Emirates ID renewal via the ICP smart app:

• Source Photo: A 2700 × 3500 pixel portrait captured in formal business attire against a white wall (2.9 MB JPEG).
• Standard Selected: UAE ICP (43 × 55 mm, 508 × 650 px at 300 DPI).
• Boundary Adjustment: The user moves the crop handles until the face height sits at 38 mm and the eyes rest along the horizontal indicator.
• Export Output: A 300 DPI photo card formatted with 4 identical 43 × 55 mm portraits ready for digital portal submission or physical kiosk printing.

Operational details on UAE document photo processing:

• Local ICP Sizing & Grid Engine: Sizing to 43 × 55 mm, head-proportion guide alignment, and multi-photo sheet layouts execute locally on your computer via client-side JavaScript.
• Stateless GPU Isolation: When invoking the automated background cutout feature, the image is dispatched over TLS to an isolated container that generates the cutout and purges all visual data from volatile RAM upon completion.
