Question 1

What are the photo requirements for a Comoros passport?

Accepted Answer

Comoros passport photos must be 35×45mm in colour, with a plain white background. The head height from chin to crown must be approximately 32–36mm within the frame. Your expression must be neutral with your mouth closed, eyes open, and looking directly at the camera. Glasses are not permitted. The photo must have been taken within the last 6 months. Requirements are set by the Direction Nationale de la Sécurité Publique (DNSP) under the Ministère de l'Intérieur, and conform to ICAO biometric standards.

Question 2

What background is required for a Comoros passport photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There should be no patterns, objects, shadows, or other people visible in the background. The DNSP requires a clean, uniform white background to enable accurate biometric facial processing. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Comoros passport photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Comoros passport photos. The DNSP follows ICAO biometric guidelines, which prohibit glasses because they can cause reflections and obstruct facial features required for biometric matching. Remove all glasses, including tinted glasses and sunglasses, before taking your passport photo.

Question 4

How recent must my Comoros passport photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your passport photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must clearly reflect your current appearance. The DNSP may reject a photo that does not accurately represent your present appearance. Using a photo older than 6 months may result in your application being delayed or rejected.

Question 5

Do Comorian passport holders need a Schengen visa to travel to Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Comorian passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to Schengen Area countries, including France, Germany, and most EU member states. Schengen visa applications require a compliant 35×45mm ICAO biometric photo — the same format required for the Comoros passport. The Comoros is a member of both the African Union and the Arab League. ID Wizard produces a 35×45mm photo suitable for both the Comoros passport application and Schengen visa applications.

Question 6

Is religious headwear such as a hijab allowed in a Comoros passport photo?

Accepted Answer

Religious headwear such as a hijab is permitted in Comoros passport photos, provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible in the photo. The DNSP follows ICAO biometric standards, which allow religious head coverings as long as they do not obscure any part of the face. The face must be fully unobstructed, evenly lit, and looking directly at the camera.
