Spain DNI Photo: Exact 26x32 mm Rules and White Background (2026)
Spain DNI photos must be exactly 26x32 mm on a white background. Learn the correct crop, print size, and how to avoid unusable small-format prints.
Overview
Spain’s DNI uses a small, precise photo format. Because the photo is only 26×32 mm, accurate cropping matters — even small size errors can make the print unusable.
This guide covers the key points for a compliant DNI photo: the exact dimensions, a clean white background, and an evenly lit portrait.
