PassportPhotoSizesMexico passport photo size
39 × 31 mm
What catches people out
- Mexican passport photos are 39 x 31 mm — landscape orientation, which is very unusual.
- Front-facing, forehead uncovered, no glasses and no jewellery.
- Mexican visa applications typically use a different size again; confirm with the consulate.
Requirements are set by Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores and they change. Confirm the current rules with them before printing — this page is a reference, not an approval.

The file stays on your device. It is read directly in the browser and never uploaded anywhere.
Drag to move, pinch or use the slider to zoom. Line the face up with the outline, and keep the crown and chin between the heavy dashed lines. Mexico does not publish a head-height figure, so these follow the ICAO standard most national rules derive from — the head filling 70–80% of the frame.
