Saudi Passport photo requirements
| Print size | 40 × 60 mm at 300 DPI |
| Head height | 65–80% of photo height |
| Background | white |
- Citizen passport photo size (commonly cited as 40×60mm) has no confirmed government source after three research passes — no Saudi embassy, MOFA, or Absher page states an ordinary citizen-passport photo spec publicly; treat this size as an unverified estimate
- A mofa.gov.sa page for DIPLOMATIC/special passports states "مقاس الصورة 4*6 بخلفية بيضاء" (photo size 4×6cm, white background), and an Absher social-media post separately gave 640×480px for children's passports — both adjacent findings, neither confirms the ordinary adult citizen figure this page needs
- For women, the niqab (face veil) must be removed for the photo, but the hijab (head covering) may remain on
- No visible jewelry; national dress is standard attire for the photo
