Prepare a Spain DNI photo (26×32)
Spanish DNI (national ID) photos commonly use 26×32 mm—the same proportion used for many TIE and driving-licence crops. Confirm your police or online renewal checklist.
Illustrative size guide—confirm Policía Nacional or online renewal checklist
26×32 mm is smaller than Schengen 35×45—do not reuse a visa crop.
Face forward with hair off the face; the full oval of the face must be visible.
Online DNI renewal may add digital rules—check pixel and background checks on the portal.
