The face has been used in identity documents and represents the ideal biometric characteristic in many applications. The International Civil Aviation Organization endorsed the use of face as the globally interoperable biometric characteristic. Successively, the International Standard Organization proposed the ISO/IEC 19794-5 standard for face usage in travel documents. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the quality of face images for identification documents and check if the face images satisfy the requirements defined by the ISO/IEC 19794-5. This work presents approaches for the evaluation of the following ISO/ICAO requirements: eyes state, red eyes and looking away. In addition, an approach to estimate the location of the center of the eyes is proposed. The proposed methods to check ISO/ICAO requirements were evaluated using the BioLab-ICAO Framework. The results achieved by the proposed methods were satisfactory, overcoming almost all the works in the literature for this purpose.
