Question 1

What are the Liechtenstein passport photo requirements?

Accepted Answer

Liechtenstein passport photos must comply with ICAO biometric standards: 35×45mm size, white or off-white background, neutral expression with mouth closed, eyes open and clearly visible. The head height (chin to crown) should be between 29 and 34mm. The photo must have been taken within the last 6 months. Glasses are not permitted. As a Schengen Area and EEA member, Liechtenstein follows the same biometric photo standards used across Switzerland and the EU.

Question 2

Does Liechtenstein follow Swiss passport photo standards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Liechtenstein aligns closely with Swiss and EU biometric standards for travel documents. The ICAO 35×45mm format, white or off-white background, and biometric head-position requirements are consistent with those applied in Switzerland and other Schengen countries. Liechtenstein is a member of both the Schengen Area and the European Economic Area (EEA).

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Liechtenstein passport photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Liechtenstein passport photos. This aligns with ICAO biometric standards, which prohibit glasses because they can interfere with automated facial recognition. Remove all glasses — including prescription spectacles and sunglasses — before taking your photo.

Question 4

What background colour is required for a Liechtenstein passport photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white or off-white. There must be no patterns, shadows, or other objects visible. The background must be evenly lit. ID Wizard automatically applies a compliant white background to your uploaded photo.

Question 5

Can I use a digital passport photo in Liechtenstein?

Accepted Answer

Digital photo submission is supported for Liechtenstein travel document applications made online or in person at the Amt für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten (Office of Foreign Affairs). ID Wizard delivers a high-resolution JPEG at the correct 35×45mm dimensions suitable for both digital submission and printing.

Question 6

How recent must a Liechtenstein passport photo be?

Accepted Answer

The photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must accurately represent your current appearance. If your appearance has changed significantly since the photo was taken — for example due to a change in hairstyle, significant weight change, or medical reason — a more recent photo is required.
