Common Reasons Photos Get Rejected
Glasses
Wrong head size
Wrong background
Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Wearing light-colored clothing — Dark or strong-colored clothing is required; white or light colors cause rejection
Wrong head size — Face must occupy 70-80% of photo height (35-40mm from chin to crown)
Hair covering ears — Hair must be tucked behind ears for proper facial visibility
Photo not frontal — Face must be completely straight-on; tilted or side-angle photos are rejected
Poor biometric quality — Blurry photos or poor lighting that prevent facial recognition validation
Wrong background color — Must be plain white (or light blue only for white/light-haired individuals)
Printing Your Photo
For mail-in applications, print your photo on 4×6 photo paper at any drugstore. Our download includes a print-ready template with multiple photos — you only need 2 for most applications.
Use glossy photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 40 × 50 mm (1.6" × 2").

| Paper type | Glossy photo paper |
| Print quality | 300 DPI minimum |
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Colombia cédula photo?
The Colombia ID card (cédula de ciudadanía) photo must be exactly 4x5 cm (40x50mm). This is slightly larger than US passport photos (2x2 inches / 51x51mm).
How many photos do I need for the Colombia cédula?
You need 3 identical photos if applying at a Registraduría that requires them. However, many modern Registraduría offices now take digital photos on-site, so check your local office first.
Why does Colombia require dark clothing in ID photos?
Dark or strong-colored clothing creates better contrast against the white background, which improves the quality of biometric facial recognition. White or light-colored clothing blends with the background and can cause your application to be rejected.
Can I wear glasses in my Colombia cédula photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed in Colombia ID card photos. You must remove them for the photo.
What if I have white or very light hair?
If you have white, gray, or very light blonde hair, you should use a light blue background instead of white. This ensures proper contrast for biometric processing.
