About Argentina Passport Photo Requirements

Argentine passport photos are specified by RENAPER (Registro Nacional de las Personas). Argentina uses a 40x40mm square format — distinct from the US 51x51mm and most other square formats. This uncommon size is required for both the Argentine passport (pasaporte argentino) and the DNI (Documento Nacional de Identidad).

RENAPER prohibits glasses in all passport and DNI photos. The background must be plain white. Expression must be completely neutral with the mouth closed. The face must be evenly lit with no shadows. Photos must be in colour and show your current appearance.

Argentine passport and DNI applications are submitted at RENAPER offices, Centros de Documentación Rápida, or Registro Civil offices across Argentina. Online pre-registration is available through the RENAPER portal (tramites.argentina.gob.ar). Argentines abroad apply at the nearest Argentine consulate.

Common Mistakes in Argentine Passport Photos

1

Using a rectangular or wrong-sized photo

Argentina's 40x40mm square is not the same as the US 2x2 inch (51x51mm) or any European format. Most photo booths produce rectangular photos that will be rejected at RENAPER offices.

2

Wearing glasses

RENAPER prohibits glasses in all DNI and passport photos. Remove eyewear entirely — clear prescription glasses are also not permitted under Argentine regulations.

3

White clothing against white background

The white background provides no contrast against white or very pale clothing. RENAPER officers check that the body outline is clearly distinguishable. Wear a coloured or dark top.

4

Smiling or teeth showing

RENAPER's biometric system requires a completely neutral expression. Even a subtle smile detected by the facial analysis software will trigger a rejection and require a new photo.
