Frequently asked questions

Italy's official rules cover more than size. The background must be plain and light-coloured. Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed. If you wear glasses, they must have clear (not dark or tinted) lenses and leave your eyes visible. Head coverings are allowed only for religious or medical reasons, with your face fully visible. The photo must have been taken within the last 6 months.
