Same size does not mean same rules. Background colour, head height and how recent the photo must be are set by each authority separately — always open the country page before you print.

Published pages that use this size

Each link opens the full country rule with its official source.

How the head must fit

Head height is measured from the chin to the crown, and it is the single most common reason a photo is refused. The exact range is set per country: open a country page below and measure against the number it publishes.

Printing this size

Lay the photos out at 300 dpi on a standard 4 × 6 in (10 × 15 cm) print and leave a 2 mm gutter for cutting. Print on glossy or matte photo paper; ordinary office paper is refused everywhere.

Questions

What is 26 × 32 mm in pixels?

307 × 378 px at 300 dpi, or 614 × 756 px at 600 dpi. Some online forms specify their own pixel size — the country page lists it.

What is 26 × 32 mm in inches?

1.02 × 1.26 in, an aspect ratio of 13 : 16.

Can I rescale a photo of another size to this one?

Only by re-cropping from the original full-resolution image; scaling a finished print distorts the head-height ratio and is usually refused.
