About Chile Passport Photo Requirements
Chilean passport photos are specified by the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación. Chile uses a 45x45mm square format — between the US 51x51mm and Argentina's 40x40mm. This square format distinguishes Chile from neighbouring Peru (51x51mm) and Argentina (40x40mm).
For Chilean citizens applying in Chile, the Registro Civil takes the biometric photo on-site during the appointment — applicants do not need to bring a pre-taken photo. However, Chilean citizens abroad applying at consulates, and individuals applying for the Cédula de Identidad, may need to bring a printed 45x45mm photo meeting the specifications.
Chilean passport applications are submitted at Registro Civil offices across Chile or at Chilean consulates worldwide. The background must be plain white, expression must be neutral, and glasses should be removed. The Cédula de Identidad (national identity card) uses the same photo specifications.
Common Mistakes in Chilean Passport Photos
Unnecessarily bringing a photo for in-Chile applications
For applications at Registro Civil offices in Chile, biometric photos are taken on-site. However, for Chilean consulate applications abroad, a printed 45x45mm photo must be brought — our service is specifically designed for this use case.
Using the wrong square format
Chile's 45x45mm square is different from Peru's 51x51mm and Argentina's 40x40mm. Using photos prepared for a neighbouring country will be rejected by consulate officers.
Background not plain white
The Registro Civil requires a plain white background with no shadows. Off-white or light grey backgrounds — accepted in some European countries — are not appropriate for Chilean documents.
Wearing glasses or accessories
Glasses and accessories that obscure the face should be removed for Chilean passport photos. Clear prescription frames may be permitted at some offices if no glare is visible, but removing them is always safer.
