How to make a Mexican passport photo online

- Download the 35 × 45 mm image, ready to print or upload.
Mexican passport photos commonly use 35 × 45 mm on a plain white background. SRE appointments often want several identical prints from one clean crop — get the millimetres right once, then duplicate, rather than shooting five slightly different photos.
Some SRE offices photograph you at the appointment. Read your appointment letter. This page is for when you still need to bring or upload 35 × 45 mm prints. Use the Schengen-style preset for the frame, keep lighting even, and avoid busy walls.
Confirm the current SRE photo checklist for your appointment type (first-time vs renewal can differ in how many prints they ask for). Tokitool sizes the crop in your browser; it does not replace the official SRE photo rules.
Dimensions here are a convenient reference for the most common Mexicanpassport photo size. Rules can change and some applications differ, so always confirm the latest requirements with the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE) before you submit.
