Free Mexico Permanent Resident Visa Photo Photo Maker

A Mexican passport photo is 35×45 mm — the standard ICAO biometric size used by most countries. The face from chin to crown must measure 30–36 mm (67–80% of photo height). The Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE) issues the spec at all delegaciones.

The SRE specifically prohibits visible jewelry — earrings, necklaces, hair clips with reflective surfaces — to keep biometric facial recognition unambiguous. Reflective jewelry can confuse facial scanners. Remove all visible accessories, including small studs.

No. Mexican passport rules prohibit eyeglasses. Even prescription glasses must be removed. Sunglasses or tinted lenses are never accepted. Medical-necessity exceptions require a doctor's certificate (justificación médica).

Plain white only. The SRE rejects light grey, off-white, or any color cast. The white must be uniform with no shadows behind the head and no patterns.

Within the last 30 days — Mexico applies a stricter rule than most countries (most allow 6 months). The SRE explicitly requires the photo to be taken within 30 days of the application appointment. This is the strictest recency rule among major countries.

Inside Mexico: photo studios near every SRE delegación take Mexican-spec photos for MX$80–150. Many delegaciones have on-site photographers. Outside Mexico: Mexican consulates worldwide, often with on-site photo service. Or format yourself with the 35×45 mm spec and bring printed copies.
