Mongolia photo requirements

Mongolia photo requirements are set by Улсын бүртгэлийн ерөнхий газар (General Authority for State Registration, burtgel.gov.mn). We publish 2 documents: 1 passport and 1 ID card. Every document here is uploaded as a digital file; 2 documents accept 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).
