Passport & ID Photos in Kutno - Ready in Minutes

Which documents we cover

A document photo is not an ordinary picture. Dimensions, background, lighting and head position all matter - and offices reject photos that do not comply. At Pan Fotograf Studio, ul. Królewska 2 in Kutno, we shoot to current specifications and print on site.

Document	What we provide
Polish ID card (dowód osobisty)	35x45 mm, light background, printed set
Passport	35x45 mm, biometric standard
Residence card (karta pobytu)	35x45 mm, meets Voivodeship Office requirements
PESEL application	Standard photo accepted by Polish offices
Visa (any country)	We adjust size and background to the destination country
Driving licence, ID badges, CV	Print and digital file

Residence card (karta pobytu): digital photo for the MOS system

Important change: since 27 April 2026, applications for temporary residence, permanent residence and EU long-term resident status are submitted online only, through the MOS portal (mos.cudzoziemcy.gov.pl). Instead of printed copies, the system requires a digital photo file.

MOS requirement	Specification
File format	JPG only (PNG, HEIC and WEBP are rejected)
Minimum resolution	684 x 883 px (width x height)
Maximum file size	2.5 MB
Proportions	Must match a 35 x 45 mm photo
Face in frame	70-80% of the image height
Background	Plain, light, no shadows

We photograph you in the studio and hand you a ready MOS-compliant JPG file - correct pixel dimensions, correct proportions, correct background - plus printed copies if you want a backup. The MOS portal has no built-in photo editor: if the file does not meet the specification, the upload simply fails and you cannot continue your application. We prepare the file so this does not happen.

CUKR card: the same biometric standard applies to the CUKR residence card available to Ukrainian citizens who have held PESEL UKR status. We prepare that photo too.

For foreign nationals living in Kutno

We regularly photograph clients applying for a karta pobytu (residence card), PESEL number or a national visa - including people from Ukraine, Spain, Colombia and other countries. Bring your paperwork if you are unsure about the required format; we will check the specification with you and take the photo accordingly.

You do not need to speak Polish. We will guide you through it. If you know the destination country for a visa, just tell us - each country has different size and background rules, and we set them correctly.

Why not a photo booth or phone selfie

Photos from booths or phones are frequently rejected by offices: wrong background shade, uneven lighting, shadows on the face, incorrect head size within the frame. We control the background, use even studio lighting and verify proportions - so you do not lose a trip to the office and have to come back.

• Correct dimensions and head positioning
• Uniform, regulation-compliant background
• Even lighting, no shadows or reflections on glasses
• Printed copies and a digital file, ready in minutes
• Light retouching of skin blemishes where permitted

How to prepare

• Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open and clearly visible.
• No headwear (unless worn for religious reasons - the face must remain visible).
• Glasses are allowed if the eyes are visible and there is no glare; we can ask you to remove them if reflections appear.
• Avoid white or very light tops - they blend into the background.
• No appointment necessary - just drop in during opening hours.
