FAQ
- Can I wear glasses in my switzerland id card photo?
- In most cases, glasses are not recommended. If you must wear them, use thin frames, remove tinted lenses, and make sure there is no glare or reflection blocking your eyes. Always check the official rules for your specific document.
- What background is required for a switzerland id card photo?
- Use a plain, light background such as white, off-white, or light grey. Avoid patterns, textures, visible objects, or strong shadows behind you so that your outline is clearly visible.
- How recent should the photo be?
- Most authorities require a recent photo, typically taken within the last 6 months, that reflects your current appearance. If your look has changed significantly (hair, facial hair, weight, or glasses), take a new photo.
- Can I print this photo at home?
- Yes. Export a print-ready sheet and print it on good-quality paper at 100% scale. Turn off “fit to page” or auto-scaling in your printer settings to keep the exact dimensions.
- What should I do if my photo fails the AI compliance check?
- Follow the feedback from the AI check—adjust lighting, move slightly closer or further from the camera, fix the background, or straighten your head. Small tweaks usually resolve issues in one or two retakes.
