About photo requirements
When applying for a Georgian passport, the Public Service Development Agency (PSDA) maintains strict biometric standards to ensure identity security. These regulations are designed to facilitate modern facial recognition technology during border crossings. Whether you are renewing your travel document or applying for the first time, adhering to these official PSDA guidelines is essential to avoid delays in your application process.
The mandatory size for a Georgian passport photo is 35mm by 45mm, featuring a plain white or light grey background. You must maintain a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed and eyes looking directly at the camera. Glasses are generally discouraged, and if worn, they must not obscure your eyes or create glare. Head coverings are strictly prohibited unless worn for religious reasons, provided they do not cast shadows on the face.
See the full 35 × 45 mm §t:9f6aeff6§ specifications for exact dimensions, face position, and background rules.
Digital applications submitted through the PSDA portal require high-quality files that meet biometric standards. The image should be saved in JPEG format with a file size typically under 1MB to ensure compatibility with the online upload system. If you prefer a convenient method to prepare your file, idpic.app offers a reliable way to crop and format your portrait to meet these specific technical requirements before uploading.
Common issues
A frequent reason for rejection in Georgia is improper lighting, which creates distracting shadows across the face or behind the ears. Many applicants also fail because their head is not perfectly centred or the image is slightly tilted. Additionally, using a low-resolution photo or an overly filtered image often results in immediate disqualification by the automated biometric verification system used by the PSDA.

Local tips
While you can visit a local Public Service Hall to have your photo taken professionally, it is often more cost-effective to use a DIY approach at home. Ensure you stand in front of a neutral wall with natural, even lighting coming from in front of you. If visiting a studio, expect to pay a modest fee, but always verify that the photographer is familiar with current biometric standards.
