Upload one clear, recent photo

A phone photo is fine. Face the camera, use even light and keep your full head and shoulders in frame.

For photos you upload, AI generation starts automatically when this rule cannot be met in the browser; photos taken with the camera here are only sent if you start it yourself. Either way the optimized photo is uploaded for processing — compare the generated face with the original before use.Privacy policy

Note: The Ministry of the Interior describes this photo only as recent, in colour, on a white background and in carnet size — it publishes no numeric dimensions for the TIE route. The Spanish DNI's own photo size is not reused here, because it belongs to a different document and applying it to the TIE would state a measurement the ministry has not.

Common rejection reasons

Shadows on the background

Furniture or shadows behind you are the top rejection cause. We detect them before you submit.

HEIC from iPhone

Many systems only accept JPEG. iPhone photos are HEIC by default — we convert automatically.

Face too close or too far

Head size must sit in an exact range. We position it precisely, no guessing.
