Bahrain photo requirements

Bahrain photo requirements are set by Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA), Ministry of Interior, via the bahrain.bh national portal. We publish 1 document: 1 passport. The most common print size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 in x 1.77 in); 1 document accepts a digital upload. 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 2026-10-10).
