Shadow on background
Wearing glasses — Glasses are not allowed unless medically necessary with a signed doctor's note; frames must not obscure eyes
Wrong background — Background must be plain white or light-colored with no shadows, patterns, or textures
Incorrect expression — Must have neutral expression with mouth closed; smiling or frowning will cause rejection
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 6 months showing your current appearance
Head position wrong — Face must be centered and facing directly forward with no tilting or turning
Poor lighting — Face must be evenly lit with no shadows, glare, or reflections
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 or 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 Portuguese passport photo?
Portuguese passport photos must be 35mm wide by 45mm tall (3.5cm x 4.5cm). This is the standard European biometric photo size, also used for Schengen visas and the Portuguese Citizen Card.
Can I wear glasses in my Portuguese passport photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed unless you have a signed doctor's note explaining medical necessity. If permitted, frames must not cover your eyes and there must be no reflections or glare.
What background color is required for Portuguese passport photos?
A plain white or light-colored uniform background is required. There should be no shadows, patterns, or textures visible in the background.
Can I smile in my Portuguese passport photo?
No. You must maintain a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed. Even a slight smile can cause rejection because it affects biometric scanning accuracy.
How does the Portuguese passport photo compare to US passport photos?
Portuguese photos are 35x45mm (rectangular) while US photos are 2x2 inches/51x51mm (square). Both require white backgrounds and neutral expressions, but the dimensions and head size ratios differ.
Can I wear a head covering in my Portuguese passport photo?
Head coverings are only allowed for religious reasons. Your full face from forehead to chin and both edges must be clearly visible.
