Who this format is for

The required format for Emirates ID / residence visa for UAE ICA on this page is 300×369 px.

Digital vs print usage
Decide early whether the endpoint is a portal, a printer, or both.
Treat this profile 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: 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 page.
Visa pages 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 profile, so anything beyond measurable crop and visible policy notes still needs manual confirmation.
- Profile match first: Emirates ID / residence visa for UAE ICA.
- Background rule on this page: Use a plain light background with even tone, no visible texture, and no distracting objects.
- Check the exact ICA wording and the provider instructions.
- Service note: ICA
- Headwear and edge shadows still need a human check: Keep headwear only when it is actually required and the face stays fully visible.
- Keep the same preset from preview through export so the crop on screen matches the downloaded file.
