Egypt photo requirements

Egypt photo requirements are set by Passports, Emigration & Nationality Administration (مصلحة الجوازات والهجرة والجنسية), Ministry 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 2026-10-09).
