Question 1

What size is required for a Jordanian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

Jordanian biometric passport photos must be 35×45mm (width × height), following the ICAO international standard. The head height from chin to crown must occupy approximately 70–80% of the frame height. Jordan issues a biometric e-passport and requires a compliant ICAO photograph at each application or renewal.

Question 2

Is the hijab allowed in a Jordanian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Women wearing the hijab (headscarf) may appear in their Jordanian passport photo with the hijab on, provided it is worn for religious reasons and the full face is clearly visible — from chin to crown, including both cheeks and the entire forehead area. The hijab must not obscure any facial features or cast shadows on the face.

Question 3

Is the niqab allowed in a Jordanian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

No. The niqab (face veil) is not permitted in Jordanian passport photos. ICAO biometric standards require the full face to be visible for facial recognition. Only the face must be visible; religious headwear that covers the hair and hair line but not the face is permitted.

Question 4

What background is required for a Jordanian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There should be no patterns, shadows, objects, or other people visible. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 5

Are glasses allowed in a Jordanian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Jordanian passport photos. The Civil Status and Passports Department follows ICAO biometric guidelines, which prohibit glasses because reflections can interfere with facial recognition. Remove all glasses before taking your photo.

Question 6

How recent must my Jordanian passport photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must accurately represent your current appearance. An outdated photo may be rejected at the Civil Status and Passports Department office. ID Wizard produces your photo immediately, so it will always satisfy the recency requirement.
