Specific to Saudi Arabia
- Online / digital submission: Absher: JPEG up to 1 MB in a 2:3 ratio (for example 400 × 600 px), white background. Absher's validator checks the photo on upload and reports which rule failed.
- Printed copies: None for Absher digital services; 4 × 6 cm prints are traditionally requested at Ahwal and Jawazat counters
- Passport renewal on Absher reuses your National ID photo — update that first if it is old.
- The 42–48 mm head range is the 70–80 % proportion of a 60 mm print rather than an official millimetre figure.

The face is detected, the head is levelled and the crop is set so the head measures 45 mm — inside the 42–48 mm range.
- 3
Fix anything flagged
Each check tells you what is wrong in millimetres — zoom, move, or retake. The background is replaced with the required colour.
