About Peru Passport Photo Requirements
Peruvian passport photos are specified by Migraciones (Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones). Peru uses the 51x51mm (2x2 inch) square format — the same dimensions as the US passport photo. This square format is relatively uncommon in South America, where most countries use rectangular formats.
Migraciones prohibits glasses in all passport photos. The background must be plain white with no shadows or patterns. Expression must be completely neutral with the mouth closed and both eyes open. Photos must be recent, taken within the last 6 months, and reflect your current appearance.
Peruvian passport applications are submitted online through the Migraciones virtual platform (migraciones.gob.pe) followed by an in-person appointment for biometric data capture. Peruanos abroad apply at the nearest Peruvian consulate. The same photo specification applies to the Carné de Extranjería for foreign residents.
Common Mistakes in Peruvian Passport Photos
Wearing glasses
Migraciones prohibits glasses in all Peruvian passport photos. Remove all eyewear — prescription glasses, sunglasses, and fashion frames are not permitted.
Using a rectangular format instead of square
Peru requires a 51x51mm square photo, not the rectangular 35x45mm common across Europe and parts of South America. Most Latin American photo studios default to the wrong format.
Background with any shadow or imperfection
Migraciones requires a uniformly white background. Any visible shadow behind the head, or variation in background colour, will cause rejection at the appointment.
Photo showing a slight smile or parted lips
Peruvian biometric requirements are strict about a completely neutral expression. A subtly open mouth or even a gentle smile will fail the automated verification during the appointment.
