Kyrgyz Passport Photo (no print listed by the ГРС; ICAO 35 x 45 mm reference): size and requirements
The Kyrgyz Passport Photo size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 x 1.77 inches). Not published; white is our rendering choice for the reference frame; head 70 to 80 percent of the photo height. Photo taken within the last 6 months. Last verified 2026-10-10 against Государственная регистрационная служба (State Registration Service of the Kyrgyz Republic), 'Перечень необходимых документов' and e-Passport FAQ, with the ICAO Doc 9303 Part 3 reference frame.
For the Kyrgyz general civil passport (общегражданский паспорт образца 2020 года, e-Passport) applied for at a Центр обслуживания населения or passport office, first issue at or before 16, exchange or replacement. The State Registration Service's document lists name no photograph and the application form is filled in by the staff, so this page is a reference frame, not a published format. Not for the ID-карта, a Kyrgyz e-visa or a driving licence.
Check with the Центр обслуживания населения before you go: the document lists name no photograph and do not say who takes the picture, so treat our 35 x 45 mm ICAO print as a fallback, not an official format. See the Kyrgyzstan documents we can prepare.

What trips people up
- CheckNo photo in the list. Every case (first issue under 16, at 16, exchange for full visa pages or expiry, change of personal data, damaged or lost passport, second passport) starts with 'анкета-заявление (оформляется сотрудником территориального подразделения или ЦОН)' and continues with the old passport or birth certificate and the payment receipt. Nothing says whether the centre photographs you or wants a print, so ask before buying photos.
- CheckAddress registration first: every list warns that registration of the applicant's address in the АИС «АСБ» (or consular registration abroad) is a mandatory condition for the 2020-model passport.
- CheckWhere: 'В любой удобный Центр обслуживания населения или отдел паспортизации.' - any convenient service centre, not only the one for your registered address. Standard term 'Через 18 рабочих дней с момента сдачи документов на оформление и выдачу e-Passport.'; lost passports are examined within 5 working days.
- CheckFees (2021 FAQ): 'Паспорт с 34 страницами 885 сомов и 50 страницами 945 сомов, с учетом комиссии банка.' Validity: 'Новый биометрический загранпаспорт выдается сроком на 10 лет'. 2006-model passports stay valid until they expire; a second passport is allowed only with a valid foreign visa in the old one.
- CheckMinors under 16 apply with a parent's passport and a notarised request from the parents or legal representatives; if one parent is a foreign citizen, that parent's notarised consent is added.
- CheckThe ГРС site was down (502) and its certificate invalid during our fetch, so both pages come from 2022 Wayback captures and may have been updated since. Everything geometric here (35 x 45 mm, 70-80 % head, six months) is the ICAO Doc 9303 reference, flagged as such.
