32 × 26 mm
What catches people out
- Spain is a genuine outlier: the national ID and passport photo is 32 x 26 mm, considerably smaller than the European norm.
- Schengen visa applications submitted in Spain still use the standard 35 x 45 mm.
- Check carefully which document you are applying for before printing.
Requirements are set by Ministerio del Interior and they change. Confirm the current rules with them before printing — this page is a reference, not an approval.

The file stays on your device. It is read directly in the browser and never uploaded anywhere.
Drag to move, pinch or use the slider to zoom. Line the face up with the outline, and keep the crown and chin between the heavy dashed lines. Spain does not publish a head-height figure, so these follow the ICAO standard most national rules derive from — the head filling 70–80% of the frame.
