Excessive jewelry or piercings — Piercings, diadems, and oversized earrings (exceeding 20% of ear size) are not permitted

Use glossy photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 35 × 45 mm (1.4" × 1.8").

Frequently Asked Questions
What size photo do I need for an Ecuador cédula de identidad?
The standard photo size for an Ecuador ID card (cédula de identidad) is 35×45mm (3.5×4.5cm). This is the same size used for most official documents in Ecuador and follows the common international carnet format.
Can I wear glasses in my Ecuador cédula photo?
No. Glasses, sunglasses, and even contact lenses are not allowed in Ecuador cédula photos. This requirement follows international ICAO biometric standards to ensure accurate facial recognition.
Is the cédula photo taken at the Registro Civil office?
Yes, in most cases the Registro Civil captures your photo digitally at the office during the cédula issuance process. However, if you are applying at an Ecuadorian consulate abroad, you may need to bring printed photos that meet the official requirements.
How is the Ecuador cédula photo different from the passport photo?
Both the Ecuador cédula and passport photos use the same 35×45mm format and require a white background with no glasses. The photo guidelines are essentially identical since both follow ICAO biometric standards enforced by the Registro Civil.
What should I wear for my Ecuador cédula photo?
Wear clothing that contrasts with the white background. Avoid white shirts, tank tops, uniforms, and camouflage-print clothing. A dark-colored shirt or blouse works best. Remove any piercings, and keep earrings small (no larger than 20% of the ear).
