Print 50 × 60 mm biometric photos for Türkiye from iPhone

By Mohamed Elatabany · Updated 10 October 2026

A 50 × 60 mm photo is 5 × 6 cm, about 1.969 × 2.362 inches. Turkish passports and identity cards use 50 × 60 mm biometric photos on a white background, with the head about 32–36 mm tall. In Photo Print, enter 50 × 60 mm, crop to fill and print at 100%.

Size is only one requirement.

Check the issuing authority’s current rules for the portrait itself — background, expression, lighting and age of the photo. Photo Print prints the exact size you enter; it does not check a photo against any government’s requirements.

What the official guidance says

Turkish consulates list a 50 × 60 mm biometric photo with a plain white background (for example the Consulate General in Los Angeles). The population directorate (NVI) describes a face height of 32–36 mm. Check your consulate or NVI office for the current wording.

Make the sheet

  1. In Photo Print, open Settings and set units to millimetres.
  2. Start a layout and add your portrait from the photo library.
  3. Open the photo and type 50 for width and 60 for height. Enter millimetres exactly; do not round to inches.
  4. Choose Fill so the portrait covers the rectangle, then drag and zoom to position the face.
  5. Add copies, and choose the paper loaded in your printer: 4 × 6 in, A4 or US Letter.
  6. Print with AirPrint, or save a PDF and print it at Actual size / 100%. Measure one photo with a ruler before trimming.

What resolution do I need?

At 300 pixels per inch, aim for at least 591 × 709 pixels after cropping.

How many fit on a 4 × 6 sheet?

Four: two 50 mm columns (100 mm) across the 101.6 mm side and two 60 mm rows (120 mm) down the long side. On A4, twelve fit with room for margins.
