Algeria photo requirements

Algeria photo requirements are set by Ministère de l'Intérieur et des Collectivités Locales (passeport.interieur.gov.dz). We publish 1 document: 1 passport. The most common print size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 in x 1.77 in). Each page quotes the official rule for size, head height, background and file, links the source we read, and shows the date we last checked it (most recently 2026-10-09).
