Frequently asked questions

Germany's official rules cover more than size. The background must be a single colour, shadow-free, with clear contrast against your face and hair. Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed. If you wear glasses, your eyes must be clearly visible with no glare on the lenses. A head covering is allowed only for religious reasons, provided your face stays fully visible.
