igazolványkép

An igazolványkép is a type of photograph required for official identification documents in Hungary. These photographs serve as a visual identifier for the holder of documents such as passports, national ID cards, driving licenses, and student IDs. The requirements for an igazolványkép are specific to ensure consistency and recognizability across all official documents.

Typically, an igazolványkép must be a recent, color photograph taken against a plain white or light grey background. The subject's face should be clearly visible, with neutral expression and eyes open. Headwear is generally not permitted unless worn for religious reasons, in which case the face must remain fully visible. The photo should be well-lit, without shadows, and the subject should be looking directly at the camera. The size and resolution of the photograph are also standardized to meet the technical specifications of the issuing authorities. Photographers specializing in official document photos are familiar with these exact requirements to ensure compliance. The purpose of these strict guidelines is to prevent the use of outdated or misleading images, thereby maintaining the integrity of identification systems.
