Argentina passport — Photo Requirements
Official specifications for Argentina passport photos. Select a photo to automatically crop and check against these dimensions.
Requirements at a glance
A finished Argentina passport photo measures 40 × 40 mm (1.6 × 1.6 in). Printed at 300 dpi that is 472 × 472 pixels.
The head, measured from the chin to the top of the hair, must be 26–32 mm tall, about 72% of the photo height. idphotopass aims for 29 mm, the middle of that range.
The eyes must sit 22–27 mm above the bottom edge of the photo, so the face is centred with space above the head.
The background must be white (#FFFFFF), plain and evenly lit, with no shadows, patterns or other people. idphotopass replaces the background with this colour automatically.
Face the camera straight on with a neutral expression, mouth closed and both eyes open and clearly visible. Avoid glare on glasses, and do not wear hats or head coverings unless for religious or medical reasons. Wear everyday clothes that contrast with the background.
Before you download, idphotopass checks the head height, eye position, face angle, brightness and background against the Argentina passport rules and tells you what to fix.
