Colombia passport photo requirements

A Colombia passport or visa photo is 30 × 40 mm (354 × 472 pixels at 300 DPI) on a white or blue background. No chin-to-crown figure is published, so the ICAO proportion of 24–28 mm is used, which is the part most photo tools ignore — a photo can be exactly the right size and still be rejected for a head that fills too much or too little of the frame.

How to make one

  1. Choose a well-lit, front-facing photo of yourself — a phone photo is fine.
  2. The head is measured and framed to the Colombia rule automatically.
  3. The background is replaced with white or blue by a matting model.
  4. Download one photo for an online application, or a print sheet with cut lines.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. There is no server to upload it to — the cropping, face detection and background removal all run inside this browser tab, and nothing is stored. Turn off your Wi-Fi once the page has loaded and it still works.

Requirements change, and the issuing authority's own guidance is always the authority. These figures are transcriptions of published requirements, offered as a convenience and not as legal advice.
