Use matte 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 is a French passport photo?
35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm). This is the standard European biometric format, different from the US 2x2 inch size.

No. Unlike most countries, France requires a light grey or light blue background. White backgrounds are explicitly not permitted.
Can I wear glasses in my French passport photo?
Yes, but only with thin frames and clear lenses. Thick frames, tinted lenses, and any reflections on the lenses are not allowed.
Is the French passport photo the same as Schengen visa photo?
They share the same 35x45mm size, but background color requirements may differ. French passports specifically require light grey or light blue, not white.
What digital format is required for online applications?
JPEG format, maximum 240KB file size, with 600 DPI resolution. The ePhoto system generates a unique code for uploading to the ANTS website.
