What else to get right
- The 35 x 45 mm ICAO format used across the Schengen states.
- Head should occupy roughly 70-80% of the frame, about 32-36 mm chin to crown.
- Taken within the last 6 months.
- Individual member states occasionally add their own requirements - check the consulate you are applying to.
