Question 1

What size does a Hungarian passport photo need to be?

Accepted Answer

Hungarian passport photos must be 35×45mm. Hungary follows ICAO biometric standards, meaning the head height (chin to crown) must be approximately 32–36mm within the frame. The photo must show the full face, with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and eyes open looking directly at the camera.

Question 2

How do I submit a passport photo in Hungary?

Accepted Answer

Passport applications are submitted at Okmányiroda or Kormányablak (Government Window) service offices across Hungary. Digital submission is also possible via the Ügyfélkapu online government portal. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution JPEG at the correct 35×45mm dimensions, accepted for both digital upload and printing at a photo centre.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Hungarian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Hungary follows ICAO biometric guidelines, which prohibit glasses in passport photos. Glasses can cause reflections and obscure facial features required for biometric processing. Remove your glasses before taking your passport photo.

Question 4

What background is required for a Hungarian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There must be adequate contrast between the background and your face and hair. Patterned, coloured, or grey backgrounds are not accepted for Hungarian passports or national ID cards.

Question 5

How recent must my Hungarian passport photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your photo must have been taken within the last 6 months at the time of submission. Using an older photo may result in your application being rejected. ID Wizard produces your photo immediately, so it will always satisfy the recency requirement.

Question 6

Can I use the same photo for my személyi igazolvány and vesetési engedély?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The photo requirements for the Hungarian személyi igazolvány (national ID card) are identical to those for the passport: 35×45mm, plain white background, head height 32–36mm, neutral expression, no glasses, taken within 6 months. The same photo can also be used for a vesetési engedély (driving licence) application. One photo produced by ID Wizard works for all three documents.
