Prepare a Mexico passport photo (35×45)
Mexican passport photos through SRE commonly use 35×45 mm biometric prints. Confirm your consulate or passport office checklist before upload or appointment.
Illustrative size guide—confirm SRE consulate checklist before print or upload
35×45 mm is the Schengen/ICAO family—taller than a 38×44 visa rectangle. Re-crop, do not stretch.
Consulate scanners reject glare—matte paper when prints are required.
Some offices ask for two identical prints; bring twins even when a digital file is also uploaded.
| Specification | Official requirement |
|---|---|
| Photo size | 35 × 45 mm |
| Background | Plain white or light colour |
| Expression | Neutral, mouth closed |

| Recency | Usually within 6 months |
Always confirm the latest rules on the official government site before you submit.
Cream or textured walls, wrong head size after a selfie, and beauty filters cause most delays.
- SRE appointment letter first.
- 35×45—not 38×44 visa.
- Matte prints if consulate lists them.
- Plain wall, no shadows.
