Bosnia and Herzegovina photo requirements

Bosnia and Herzegovina photo requirements are set by Agency for Identification Documents, Registers and Data Exchange (IDDEEA, iddeea.gov.ba) via the entity, cantonal and Brčko District ministries of interior. 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 2026-10-10).

Passports

Bosnia and Herzegovina Passport Photo (biometric passport via the MUP offices; no readable photo rule; ICAO 35 x 45 mm reference)For a biometric passport of Bosnia and Herzegovina applied for by a citizen at an entity, cantonal or Brčko District ministry of interior office and personalised by IDDEEA, for adults and children, as a reference only: neither IDDEEA nor the Republika Srpska MUP page we read publishes a photo size or says whether a print is taken, so the frame here is the ICAO default. Not for the identity card, a BiH visa or a driving licence.35 x 45 mmnot readverified 2026-10-10
