Hungary Passport Photos and Visa Photo Requirements – Rules, Guidelines, and Specifications

While we already listed the Hungarian passport photo requirements above, we provide further information below so that you can have as much information as possible. The truth of the matter is that many passport applications get rejected due to an inadequate passport photo, and we do not want that happening to you.

  • You have to be careful with the environment in which you take your picture because you need the background of the photo to be entirely white. It cannot contain colors of any kind, patterns, or even shadows. If you have a white wall in your house, you can use that, but if you do not, there is no reason to panic. You can just take a white sheet and hang it on the wall.
  • When you get ready to take your picture, make sure to place the camera at eye level. Your head needs to be kept straight so that all your facial features are perfectly visible. Do not submit a portrait-style passport photo because it will be rejected. Both sides of your face must appear in the picture, not just one.
  • Do not smile when you take your photo. You can neither frown nor raise your brows. You have to adopt a neutral facial expression when you capture the photo. Just relax your face, and that will achieve the desired result.
  • Look straight into the camera when you take the picture. Your eyes cannot be obscured by anything. Move your hair away from your face. If the frames of your glasses are too large, remove them entirely. If you do have to wear your glasses, make sure there is no glare in the photograph. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are prohibited in a passport photo or visa photo.
  • The light in the environment in which you take your picture must have the right intensity. Not too bright nor too dim. You have to make sure that there are no shadows on your face, so choose a source of lighting that is right in front of you.
  • You can keep your headwear for your passport photo or visa photo, but only if your religion compels you too. No other exceptions are made. Even so, your veil cannot cast shadows on your face, and your face must be visible from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin.
  • You can appear with a beard in your passport photo or visa photo, but only if it represents your everyday look. Otherwise, you need to shave it off before taking the picture.

Rules and Requirements for Babies, Infants, and Newborn Passport and Visa Photos

As you may already know, children of all ages need to have their own passports and visas when traveling, which is why you need to have their picture taken as well. Keep in mind that there are no significant differences between an adult’s passport photo and a child’s passport photo other than the fact that the child’s head can take less space in a picture. Here are some tips that should be of assistance when you want to take the photo of your child:

  • The child has to be awake for the picture.
  • All rules regarding the background apply to children as well. When photographing your child in a car seat, cover the backrest with a white sheet. If you want to take the picture from above while the baby is lying down, place a white layer underneath.
  • You have to remove any foreign objects from the shot, such as pacifiers, toys, hats, etc.
  • Keep in mind that only the child can appear in a passport photo or visa photo. So, if you decide to hold the baby, make sure that not even your hands are visible in the shot.
