Where we sourced these Kuwait specifications

Dimensions, background colour, and biometric framing on this page are compiled from the references below. Always reconfirm the latest guidance directly with the issuing authority before submitting an application.

• moi.gov.kw — Ministry of Interior / General Directorate of Residency: **4×6 cm** personal photographs with **blue background** are standard for many MOI procedures (passport-related and residence forms often use this format)
• nat.moi.gov.kw — Electronic passport renewal: contrasting **blue** background; some flows still require a studio file **800×600 px at 72 dpi** for USB upload—confirm the live form
• e.gov.kw — Kuwait government service descriptions may list alternate dimensions for specific transactions; always match the portal you use
• icao.int — ICAO Doc 9303 (facial geometry reference when MOI cites ICAO compliance)
