Who this format is for
Start by matching the document route, not the size alone.
Use this page when the checklist, search query, or local office wording refers to Emirates ID / residence visa for UAE ICA or to the exact Emirates ID / residence visa for UAE ICA phrasing.
The imported data also mentions ICA, so treat that service wording as part of the page context, not as optional copy.
Visa pages often depend on the consulate, portal, or service wording, so a similar crop can still lead to the wrong route.
Exact size and cropping guidance
Use the measured frame below instead of approximating the crop by eye.
The stored frame for Emirates ID / residence visa for UAE ICA on this route is 300×369 px.
Aim for head height around 72%. The recommended band on this page is 64% to 80%. Leave about 8% above the head, with an allowed range of 5% to 12%.
No exact pixel target is stored here, so preserve the ratio and confirm any destination limits separately.
- Physical requirement: 300×369 px
- Frame ratio: 300:369
- Head-height band: 64% to 80%
- Solve mismatch with crop and proportional scaling only.
Digital vs print usage
Decide early whether the endpoint is a portal, a printer, or both.
Treat this route as digital-first. The crop has to look right, but the destination portal can still reject a file that misses its pixel, file-size, or format rules.
If the application ends in a portal, treat the portal limits as final even when the crop itself looks correct.
- Preferred format: JPG
- Allowed formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG
- Submission path on this page: online
- Check the destination portal before you treat the job as finished.
What matters most for this specific document
The biggest rejection risk is not the same on every route.
Visa routes often fail because the applicant chose the wrong visa variant or ignored portal-specific technical rules even though the crop looked acceptable.
No direct official source link is attached to this route, so anything beyond measurable crop and visible policy notes still needs manual confirmation.
- Route match first: Emirates ID / residence visa for UAE ICA.
- Background rule on this route: Use a plain light background with even tone, no visible texture, and no distracting objects.
- Double-check: the exact ICA wording or provider instructions.
- Service route in source data: ICA
- Headwear and edge shadows still need a human check: Keep headwear only when it is actually required and the face stays fully visible.
- The crop tool keeps facial proportions intact. When the target ratio changes, adjust the crop and scale evenly instead of stretching the face.
