Belgian passport and identity photos commonly use 35 × 45 mm on a plain white or light background, in line with ICAO-style Schengen sizes. Head height is often expected around 28–34 mm from chin to crown.
Communal photo rules and eID channels can still reject soft focus, shadows, or non-neutral expressions. Size the crop with the Schengen preset, then confirm your commune or FPS Interior checklist.
