Pasfoto thuis nemen

Zo maakt u uw foto

1. Take a recent, clear photo. Stand 1.2 m (4 ft) from a plain wall in soft, even daylight. Face the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open, and remove glasses, hats, or filters.
2. Open the Pasfoto België online maken tool. Open the upload form on this page and select your photo from your phone or computer. Our tool measures face geometry against the official Pasfoto België online maken template.
3. Auto-crop and clean the background. We crop the head to 35 mm × 45 mm with biometric framing and replace the background with a white fill if required.
4. Download the print-ready file or 4×6 sheet. Download a 413 × 531 px JPEG for online submissions, or a 4x6 sheet with 8 photos to print at home or a pharmacy.
