Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a Mexican passport photo?

Mexican passport photos must be 35mm wide by 45mm tall with a plain white background, per SRE requirements.

Can I use this for a Mexican visa or US ESTA?

Yes. The 35×45mm format is used for Mexican passports. For US visa applications, use our US Visa Photo tool.

Are glasses allowed in Mexican passport photos?

No. The SRE requires no glasses in biometric passport photos.

What is the face oval guide?

The oval overlay shows the ideal face position in the frame. Zoom in or out until your face fits inside the oval — this ensures your face occupies the correct proportion of the photo.

What does Center Face do?

It automatically detects your face and centers the frame around it. Click it after uploading for the best starting position.

What does Straighten do?

It detects the angle of your eyes and rotates the image so they are perfectly level — useful for photos taken at a slight tilt.
