Applying for a Russian international passport through Gosuslugi? The photo is uploaded with the application as a file: white background, no shadows, face uncovered, neutral expression. For the new-type passport that is all — an MVD officer photographs you at the appointment. For the old-type passport, also bring printed 3.5 × 4.5 cm photos.

Official requirements
Not for the new-type (10-year) passport: an MVD officer photographs you at the appointment. For the old-type (5-year) passport, bring printed 3.5 × 4.5 cm photos too: 3 for adults and children from 14, 2 for children under 14.
No. According to Gosuslugi, the photo from the application stays in your file and does not appear in the passport.
Fill in the application again and upload a new photo. Check for a white background without shadows, an uncovered face and no glare on glasses.
