Wrong background
Shadow on face
Shadow on background

Face obscured by glasses — RENAP recommends removing eyeglasses for accurate biometric recognition
Face covered by hair or accessories — Your entire face must be clearly visible from forehead to chin
Non-white background — Background must be plain white with no shadows, texture, or patterns
Low resolution or blurry photo — Photo must be sharp and high-resolution for clear identification
Photo too old — Must reflect your current appearance; photos older than 6 months may be rejected
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 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 photo do I need for a Guatemala DPI ID card?
The standard photo size for Guatemala's DPI (Documento Personal de Identificación) is 35x45mm, which is the 'tamaño cédula' or ID card size used across Guatemala for official identification documents.
Do I need to bring my own photo for the Guatemala DPI?
If you apply at a RENAP office in Guatemala, the photo is taken on-site during the biometric data capture process. However, if you apply at a Guatemalan consulate abroad, you may need to provide your own 35x45mm photo with a white background.
Can I wear glasses in my Guatemala DPI photo?
RENAP recommends removing eyeglasses for the DPI photo, as glasses can interfere with biometric facial recognition. If you must wear glasses for medical reasons, ensure there is no glare on the lenses.
How does the Guatemala DPI photo compare to a US passport photo?
The Guatemala DPI uses a 35x45mm (1.4x1.8 inch) format, which is smaller than the US passport photo at 2x2 inches (51x51mm). Both require a white background and neutral expression.
Is the Guatemala DPI photo in color or black and white?
Since January 2025, the new Guatemala DPI features a color photograph. Previous versions used black and white photos, but all new DPIs are issued with full-color images.
What is the new Guatemala DPI design?
Starting January 9, 2025, RENAP introduced a new DPI design with a color photo, enhanced holographic security features, and compliance with international standards including ICAO, ISO, and ANSI/NIST.
