Question 1

What size does a Slovenian passport photo need to be?

Accepted Answer

Slovenian passport photos must be 35×45mm. Slovenia 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 Slovenia?

Accepted Answer

Passport applications are submitted at the local Upravna enota (Administrative Unit). Digital submission is also possible via the e-uprava.gov.si government portal, operated by the Ministrstvo za notranje zadeve (Ministry of the Interior). 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 Slovenian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

What background is required for a Slovenian passport photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white or light grey. There must be clear contrast between the background and your face and hair. Patterned, coloured, or dark backgrounds are not accepted for Slovenian passports or osebna izkaznica (national ID cards).

Question 5

How recent must my Slovenian 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 osebna izkaznica?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The photo requirements for the Slovenian osebna izkaznica (national ID card) are identical to those for the potni list (passport): 35×45mm, plain white or light grey background, head height 32–36mm, neutral expression, no glasses, taken within 6 months. One photo produced by ID Wizard works for both documents.
