e-KTP Photo Requirements (Indonesia) 2026

The photo on your Indonesian e-KTP is captured on-site during the recording session (perekaman) at the Dukcapil / Disdukcapil office, so you cannot make or upload it yourself. The KTP background color is set by your birth year: red for an odd birth year, blue for an even birth year, and orange for foreign nationals. For photos you do make yourself (jobs, school, visa, SKCK), create a pas foto in the required size and background color instead.

Frequently asked questions

What do red and blue KTP backgrounds mean? +
The color reflects your birth year: red for an odd (ganjil) birth year and blue for an even (genap) birth year. Orange is used for foreign nationals.
Can I make my own e-KTP photo? +
No. The e-KTP photo is taken on-site by an officer during perekaman at Dukcapil, so it cannot be self-made or uploaded. Use a pas foto for other purposes.
Which background should my pas foto use if it relates to KTP data? +
Match your birth-year color where an office asks for it: red for an odd birth year, blue for an even one. Always confirm with the requesting office.
