Previously, a passport-size photo with a white backdrop was required, as well as the date and name at the bottom of the picture. According to the most recent official notification on the subject, officials have announced that images without a name or date will also function. Therefore, it is not necessary to certify the pictures. The latest photos should be in colour or black and white, with a white backdrop and 80 percent of the face (without the mask) visible, including the ears.
