Mexico Passport Photo Requirements, Explained

Follow the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE) rules to avoid delays with your pasaporte application.

Quick Check: Do's & Don'ts

No Glasses or Smiling

Keep a neutral, closed-mouth expression with no glasses of any kind.

No Digital Retouching

SRE rejects photos altered with filters or beauty-editing software.

Plain White Background

Use an even, shadow-free white background.

Hair Pulled Back

Forehead, eyebrows, and ears must be fully visible.

Digital Capture at SRE Offices

Since 2018, most applications capture the photo on-site.

Since 2018, biometric photos for Mexican passport applications are typically captured on-site at SRE offices during your appointment, rather than submitted as a printed photo.

However, some consulates abroad may still request a compliant backup photo as part of their checklist — this tool produces a file suitable for that scenario.

Attire & Accessories

No glasses, hair pulled back, uncovered head.

Glasses are not permitted in the photo. Hair must be pulled back so the forehead, eyebrows, and ears are fully exposed, and the head must remain uncovered except for religious reasons.

Facial Expression & Posing

Neutral expression, direct gaze, no smiling.

Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression and no smile. Both eyes must be open and clearly visible. The photo must be recent — taken within the last 6 months.
