We check your photo against the published rules for the 4 x 4 cm Argentine consular print, frame it on your face at that size, replace the background with plain white where the photo allows it, and lay copies out on a 4 x 6 inch sheet for printing. Where the photo allows it, we may also level a tilted head, reduce a colour cast from the light and change its overall brightness or contrast once. If you ask for it and confirm that such a photo may be rejected, we soften shine on the skin. We never change your features or the shape of your face. For a regular passport the office or consulate takes its own photo, and the authority decides what it accepts.
Lo que el organismo no publica
- No Argentine authority page read publishes a head height, eye line, expression rule, recency in months, uniform rule or any digital file spec.
- No page read bans edited photos in general, and the passport decree bans only altering the facial features. None says whether a self-made photo is accepted.
- No religious or medical exception to the uncovered head rule is published, and no separate photo rule for babies or minors.
- The undated SIIC "pasaporte consular" page asks for four photos. Whether that passport is still issued anywhere is unverified.
- An undated New Zealand embassy PDF for the pasaporte de emergencia asks for five photos in three-quarter right profile on a light blue background. It conflicts with every other page read, looks obsolete and is not used.
- The Madrid provisorio page and one New York page returned HTTP 403 and were not read. Decreto 261/2011 was not read.
Lo que recibes
- Your original photo. The file you uploaded, unchanged.
- 40 x 40 mm photo. Your photo framed on your face and sized to 40 x 40 mm, ready for a photo lab.
- 4×6 inch print sheet. Copies of the 40 x 40 mm photo laid out on one 4×6 inch sheet, for a photo lab.
- Printing and submission checklist. What size to print, which paper to use, and the wording of the rules your photo was checked against.

Lo que no prometemos
No podemos prometer que un organismo acepte una foto y no presentamos solicitudes en tu nombre. La decisión es siempre del organismo emisor.
