Specific to Spain
- Printed copies: 1 recent photo on high-resolution photo paper
- Spain uses the small 32 × 26 mm 'tamaño carné' print on a white background.
- The face oval from eyebrows to chin must be fully visible; some offices photograph you at the counter.
- The authority publishes no head height in millimetres; the 70–80 % ICAO framing used here is what its capture stations enforce.

The face is detected, the head is levelled and the crop is set so the head measures 24 mm — inside the 22.5–25.5 mm range.
