Frequently Asked Questions

What size photo do I need for a Cuba ID card?

Cuba ID card (carné de identidad) photos require 4x5 cm (40x50mm) dimensions. This is similar to the standard passport photo size used in many Latin American countries.

Do I need to bring my own photo for the Cuba ID card?

Since 2014, Cuba's DIIE offices take photos on-site using specialized equipment. However, if you need a photo for related documents or applications abroad, you'll need a 4x5cm photo with white background.

What can't I wear in my Cuba ID photo?

Military uniforms and security agency uniforms are strictly prohibited. Men cannot wear sleeveless shirts or t-shirts, and women cannot wear sleeveless tops. Regular formal attire is recommended.

How long is my Cuba ID card photo valid?

For citizens aged 16-40, the photo must be less than 5 years old. For those over 40, the photo can be up to 10 years old. The ID card itself is typically renewed every 10-15 years.

How does the Cuba ID photo compare to US passport photos?

Cuba ID photos are 4x5cm (40x50mm) while US passport photos are 2x2 inches (51x51mm). Cuba uses a rectangular format common in Latin America, while the US uses a square format.
