Face straight on, hair off the face

Note on the sources: The ministry gives no head-height or file rules, so this uses the ICAO share; its blue is deeper than the app's light blue.

Official rules: e.gov.kw (Ministry of Interior). Rules checked on 24 October 2026.

How to take the Kuwait Passport (Sahel upload, renewal) photo on your phone

Stand about an arm's length from a plain light blue wall, facing a window or other soft light, so there are no shadows on your face or behind you.

Take off your glasses if you can, push your hair away from your eyes and eyebrows, and keep a neutral face with your mouth closed.

Hold the phone at eye level, or ask someone to take it. Picproved's camera tells you when your head is straight, centred and the right size.

Picproved crops the photo to 40×50 mm (472×591 pixels) with the head 30 to 37.5 mm tall, evens out the light blue background and checks every rule before you save.

Save the file to upload, or a print sheet to print at a photo kiosk.
