Brazilian passport photo: the rules
What the official rules say about the photo for the Brazilian passport (passaporte comum), applied for in Brazil at the Polícia Federal, with the source we checked. Rules read on gov.br on 4 November 2026.
In Brazil you bring no photo: the Federal Police officer takes your facial photo, with your fingerprints, at the appointment. Brazilian consulates abroad set their own rules (Toronto, for example, asks for one 5 x 5 or 5 x 7 cm print stamped by the photographer), so check your consulate's page.
