This page follows document-specific public guidance published by Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Population and Immigration Authority of Israel.

Official Israeli passport guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs page for Israeli citizens abroad requires two recent photos measuring 5 × 5 cm, white background and full front view of the face for non-biometric passport issuance abroad. The Population and Immigration Authority separately states that first biometric travel documents in Israel are photographed by the authority during the application. This profile is therefore modeled as an official hybrid workflow rather than a single photo-submission route.

How to take this photo correctly

  • Consular or non-biometric routes can still keep print-photo requirements even when domestic biometric issuance uses live capture.
  • Use the source links on this page to match the exact route before upload or printing.

Common reasons this photo gets rejected

  • The chosen filing route may use live capture instead of applicant photos, or vice versa.
  • The background does not match the rule: Plain white background.
  • The head is tilted, too close to the edge or cropped too tightly.
  • Glasses, glare, hair or shadows make the eyes hard to see.
