Dimensions

  • Print size: 30 × 40 mm (3 × 4 cm); alternative 20 × 30 mm (2 × 3 cm) accepted by some Dukcapil offices
  • Pixel size (code): 354 × 472 px (≈ 30 × 40 mm @ 300 DPI)
  • DPI: minimum 300
  • File format: JPG / JPEG
  • Card itself: ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 (85.60 × 53.98 mm)

Head position

  • Head coverage: ~70-80% of image height
  • Face: centered, directly facing camera
  • Eye line: ~50-60% from bottom of frame

Background

  • Color: Red — mandated for citizens born in an odd-numbered year (e.g., 1987, 1991, 2001, 2003)
  • Hex (code): #DB1514
  • The red/blue split is mandated by Permendagri No. 72 Tahun 2022 and is used for population data management and demographic grouping. Background color does not affect KTP validity.

Expression

  • Neutral expression
  • Eyes open and clearly visible
  • Face must be clear, not blurry, not covered by accessories

Accessories

  • Dark / tinted (sun)glasses: not permitted
  • Head coverings: not permitted, except religious head coverings
  • Excessive accessories or items obscuring facial features: not permitted

Other rules

  • Adequate, even lighting; not overly dark or excessively bright
  • Editing: only lighting and background adjustments are permitted; facial structure must not be altered
  • Photo capture is typically done at the Dukcapil (Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil) office during the KTP application

Notes

  • The birth-year-based color rule is the defining characteristic of this spec. id_ktp_odd (red) and id_ktp_even (blue) are surfaced as two separate rows in the spec picker so the user picks parity directly — no birth-year input is collected.
  • Some legacy KTP photos predate Permendagri No. 72/2022 and use older background conventions; this spec applies to current (2022 onward) e-KTP issuance.

Can I wear glasses in my e-KTP photo?

Dark or tinted sunglasses are not permitted. Standard prescription glasses are not specifically prohibited, but the face must remain clearly visible without obscured eyes.

Can I wear a head covering for the e-KTP photo?

Head coverings are not permitted except for religious reasons. Anything that obscures facial features will be rejected.

Can I smile in an e-KTP photo?

A neutral expression is required, with eyes open and clearly visible. The face must be clear, not blurry, and not covered by accessories.

How recent does the e-KTP photo need to be?

Photo capture is typically done at the Dukcapil office during the KTP application, so a fresh photo is taken on the day. Editing is limited to lighting and background adjustments — facial structure must not be altered.

Why is my e-KTP background red, and what size is it?

The red background is mandated by **Permendagri No. 72 Tahun 2022** for citizens born in an **odd-numbered year** (1987, 1991, 2001, 2003, …). Citizens born in even-numbered years use blue. Print size 30 × 40 mm (3 × 4 cm); pixel target 354 × 472 px at 300 DPI; JPG/JPEG. Background color does not affect KTP validity.

The same checks the authority will run — before you submit.

  • Face height & eye line measured from the pupil midpoint with sub-pixel accuracy, clamped to the tolerance range your authority publishes.
  • Background colour checked across a sampled grid — catches gradients and fringe from poor segmentation (ΔE < 3 against spec).
  • File-size ceiling enforced per-spec — recompressed silently for sub-60 KB e-visa portals, lossless for print.
  • Sharpness & expression guards warn on blur, closed eyes, or non-neutral expressions before you export.
