Guatemala Passport Photos and Visa Photo Requirements – Rules, Guidelines, and Specifications

While we already listed the Guatemala passport photo requirements above, we want to further provide you with some information so that there is no confusion regarding some of them. Did you know that an inadequate passport photo is one of the most common reasons for passport application rejection? We want you to avoid that.

  • As mentioned above, the background has to be white. It cannot have patterns, color, or even shadows on it. Many people take their pictures against a white wall. In case you do not have one in your home, feel free to take a white sheet and hang it somewhere. It achieves the same result.
  • The best position for your camera is at eye level. You have to keep your head straight so that both sides of your face are equally visible. Needless to say, you are not allowed to tilt or rotate your head in any way. If you submit a portrait-style photo, your application will be rejected.
  • When you take your picture, do not smile. You cannot frown, raise your brows, nor squint. You must adopt a neutral facial expression. To achieve that, you have to relax the muscles of your face when capturing the photograph.
  • The eyes must be perfectly visible in the passport photo or visa photo. They cannot be covered by your hair of the frames of your glasses. Look straight into the camera. If you decide to keep your glasses on, remember to check for glare. Sunglasses and eyeglasses with tinted lenses are prohibited in a passport photo.
  • Make sure that the lighting in the environment in which you take the photo is adequate. It must have the appropriate intensity. Choose a source that is in front of you so that the light does not cast any shadows on your face. That can distort some facial features.
  • When you take your passport photo or visa photo, you cannot appear with anything on your head. However, if you must keep on your headwear for religious purposes, an exception is made. Nevertheless, the headwear cannot cast shadows on your face, and your face must be entirely visible from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin.
  • In case your beard represents your everyday look, you are allowed to keep it on for your passport photo or visa photo. If you plan on shaving it, do so before taking the picture.

Rules and Requirements for Babies, Infants, and Newborn Passport and Visa Photos

Children are not exempt from having their own passport and visas no matter how young they are. So, if you plan on traveling together with your kids, you need to apply for travel documents for them as well. Pictures are necessary for them too. Below, you will find some useful tips on how to take your children’s passport photos and visa photos.

  • Make sure that the child is awake during the photoshoot.
  • Only the baby can appear in the photograph. If you want to hold him/her, remember that not even your hands can appear in the picture.
  • Photographing your child in a car seat entails putting a white cover on the backrest of the chair.
  • When taking the passport photo of your child from above in the lying down position, remember to place a white sheet or blanket underneath. All background rules apply to children as well.
  • Remove hats, pacifiers, toys, or any other objects from the shot.
  • There are no significant differences between a child’s passport photo and an adult’s passport photo other than the fact that a child’s head can appear smaller

Williams Passport Photos in Phoenix-Greek Passport photo

Α) Dimensions and Paper Quality

  • Must be recent.
  • The photo’s dimensions should be 40 mm x 60 mm without frame.
  • Must be produced or printed on high quality white photographic paper, not watercolored or relief.
  • Must be high analyzed and shouldn’t have dots (pixel – raster) or be produced on ink jet or laser printers.
  • The person must appear such as the following shape, so that:
  1. The face length DD (from the jaw up to the top of the head) should be 31 mm up to 35 mm.
  2. The face width CC (from the one ear to the other at the connection point to the face) should be 20 mm up to 25 mm.
  3. The distance BB from the lower part of the photo up to the eyes (the imaginary line which crosses between the eyes) should be 30 mm up to 39 mm.
  4. NOTE: Analogically, none of the upper indications should overrun the lower or upper price. Furthermore face deformation is not allowed.

– For people with moving or other health problems should be made an effort of taking the photo as well as possible.

  • It should be taken at white or cream background or at use of 5% of grey, so that the face characteristics will be clear in relation to the used background.
  • Furthermore:

    • The entire face should be clear, from the jaw to the forehead and from the one ear to the other.
    • Shadings mustn’t appear on the background and the face or sheens from the light reflected to the face.
    • Except the person photographed, any other persons or objects such as dolls, toys etc are not allowed to be appeared.
    • The person must appear looking straight at the camera’s lens.
    • The person must appear with a neutral expression and a closed mouth.
    • The person must appear with the eyes open (not wide open) in a way that they can be seen clearly. Sunglasses and myopic glasses with colored lenses (Photo Gray, Photo Brown etc) are prohibited. The hair must never cover the eyes, the eyebrows or any part of the person’s face.
    • The person must appear without a reflection on the glasses, in case he/she’s wearing and the glasses frame mustn’t cover the eyes or other face characteristics. To prevent this kind of problems, it’s recommended not to wear eye glasses, when it is possible.
    • The person must appear without a head cover.

    – For religious reasons a person can wear a head cover (for example a kerchief etc), but the face characteristics from the jaw up to the forehead and from the one ear to the other must be in any case visible.

    – Also for health problems it?s allowed to cover face characteristics only with a medical certificate.

    Children under 12 years old and babies. Regarding children under 12 years old and babies, photos? dimensions can be logically smaller from these of the adults and they must be accepted.

    Examples of appropriate photos referenced to the pose, the expression, the background etc and not to the face dimensions:


    Pose

    The frontal photo type must be used for the passport’s photo. The head’s rotation must be less than +/- 5 grades from the center at every direction (up and down, left or right). The shoulders must be “straight”. The “portrait style” photos, in which the person looks over the one shoulder, are not accepted.

    Expression
    The expression must be neutral (without a smile), with both eyes normally open (not wide open) and the mouth closed. The biggest effort must be made, so that the pictures delivered will be according to the current specifications. Smile with closed mouth is not recommended. The person must be entirely alone (without backs of chairs, toys or other faces appeared), looking at the lens with neutral expression and closed mouth.

    Examples of not accepted expressions
    a. Closed eyes
    b. Eyes covered by hair
    c. Eyes partly covered by glasses frame

    Examples of not recommended expressions
    a. Smile and the teeth or the inside of the mouth is visible
    b. Eyebrows rise
    c. Eyes which don’t look straight at the camera
    d. Squint
    e. Frown

    Background
    The limit between head and background must be totally distinct in the entire object (bushy hair is acceptable). There must be no shades at the face’s background.

    Shadows in the eyes
    There must be no dark shades in the eyes because of the eyebrows. The iris and pupil must be distinctly visible.

    Background sameness
    The background must be plain without straight lines or curves. So it must be uniform or homogenously colored, with smooth vacillations of the lightness to only one direction.

    Subject and background lighting
    The lighting will be spread uniformly in every side of the face. No significant direction of the light must be visible from the photographer’s optical angle.

    Hot spots
    Great attention must be given to avoid “hot spots” (bright areas of light which make the face shine). This phenomenon is usually being caused by the use of a highly bright intensity and concentration. Instead of that it’s essential to use expansive light, multiple equal sources or other lighting methods.

    Glasses
    If the person usually wears glasses, then he/she must wear them when photographed. The glasses must be clean and transparent, so that the iris and pupil are clearly visible. If the glasses are getting automatically dark to the light, the person must be photographed in such a way that that the glasses won’t change color. Only in extreme cases, in which the changing of the color can’t be reduced, the glasses must be taken off.

    Dark glasses or sunglasses are acceptable only for medical reasons. In different situation they must be taken off.

    It must be made sure that glasses frames don’t cover the eyes.

    There must be no light reflection on the glasses. This can usually be achieved by modifying the angle among the source of the light, the object and the camera at 45° (degrees) or more.

    Eyes bandages
    Use of bandages at the eyes is allowed only for medical reasons.

    Not exaggerated or deficient exposure
    For every detail of the face, the color gradations must be clearly visible. So there must be no saturation (from exaggerated or deficient exposure) to the face.

    Focus and depth of the field
    The picture must be perfectly focused from the nose to the ears and the jaw up to the hair. This can lead to background obscureness, but it’s not a problem. During a typical photographing, for the best quality of the face, the f-stop of the camera lens must be adjusted at two (or more) f-stop under the highest stop opening, so as to achieve enough depth field.

    All the pictures will have satisfying depth focus so as to maintain a better analysis from 2 mm at the photographed face. It can be achieved a better picture analysis than 1 mm, if in a test photographing the millimeter signs, placed at the nose and the ears or the face of the person that looks at the camera, are visible.

    If the camera lacks of an automatic focus, then the person must be placed always at the best position.

    Unnatural color
    The unnatural colored light, yellow, red, etc is not allowed. Attention must be given to correct the balance of the white light of the camera. The light will give to the face at the picture a natural tone of the flesh. The “red-eyes” phenomenon is not allowed. The colored photos must be based on techniques of balanced colored light, like for example high temperature of the flash color.

    Color or tone of grey gradation
    A procedure which aims at exaggerated or deficient exposure of a color or a tone of grey for esthetic reasons is not allowed. The whole of the picture is requested. The teeth and the white of the eyes will be open colored or white (wherever needed) and the dark hair or characteristics (wherever needed) will be dark.

    Actinic deformation of the camera lenses
    The “fish-eye” phenomenon which is related to unusually big noses is not allowed. There is almost always some kind of deformation at portrait style photographing, but that deformation must be unnoticed during the human examination.

    The actinic deformation due to the lens is a phenomenon, which has to be reduced. For a typical photographic system with the object at a distance of 1,5 m up to 2,5 m from the camera, the focal length of the lens must be as much as a typical telephoto lens. For example, for a photo of 35 mm is needed a 90mm to 130 mm focal length of a lens. Practically, about the various optical sensors, the recommended focal length is 2 to 3 times the diagonal of each sensor.

    Picture at the center
    The approximately middle points of the mouth and the nose must be met at an imaginary perpendicular line AA, which is placed in the horizontal center of the picture.

Requirements for these photos are very detailed, please provide specific requirements requested and we GUARANTEE 100% satisfaction
——————-
PHOTO MATRIX (2007 MODEL)  (Appendix L)
Acceptance criteria for passport photos for Dutch travel documents

The purpose of the photograph is to identify the applicant, so applicants for travel documents are required to submit a color passport photo that is a good likeness. It will only be accepted if it meets all the requirements below, unless an exemption is made under the Passport Regulations.

1. Size   The passport photo must be 35 by 45 mm (width x height).

Width:  from ear to ear, between 16 mm and 20 mm.

Height:  from age 11: from chin to crown, between 26 mm and 30 mm.
up to age 11: from chin to crown, between 19 mm and 30 mm.
You can check the size using the accompanying transparency.

2.  Photo Quality

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • In color
  • A true likeness
  • Natural representation
  • In focus, sufficient contrast, discernible fine facial features
  • Undamaged
  • Not a reproduction (copy)
  • Not manipulated
  • Printed on high-quality, smooth photo paper
  • Minimum 400 dpi resolution

NOTES
The photo is in focus and is a true likeness and natural representation of the applicant. The photo shows sufficient contrast and fine features of the face, and the facial coloring is natural.




By high-quality, smooth photo paper, we mean paper intended for printing   photos. The paper contains no raised surfaces or any other tangible or visible irregularities that might distort the appearance of the applicant.

The photographer needs to know that the photo must be 400 dpi and judge whether the photo looks as if its minimum resolution is 400 dpi.

The photo appears in black and white on the travel document, but is stored in color on the microchip.

3.  Background

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • Light grey, pale blue, or white
  • Uniformly lit
  • One color only
  • No merging of colors
  • Sufficient contrast between head and background

NOTES
The background color must be light grey, pale blue, or white. The background must be even, in a single color, and without shadow or merging   colors.
There must be sufficient contrast between the head and the background.         Insufficient contrast reduces the clarity of the photograph in the travel document.

4. Facial appearance

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • Head uncovered
  • Face entirely visible
  • Eyes entirely visible

NOTES
The eyes and the whole face must be entirely visible. Hair that falls over the eyes (or parts of the eyes such as the eyelids) or otherwise hides part of the face can be an obstacle to human or electronic facial recognition.

The width of the face (from ear to ear) cannot be determined if the sides of the face are covered. This does not mean that the ears themselves must be visible.

No shadows, especially around the eyes, no reflections from accessories such as ribbons and earrings should be visible on the face.

Head covering is permitted only for religious, philosophical, or medical reasons (see Exceptions).

5. Position

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • Head facing forward
  • Eyes on a horizontal line
  • Head not tilted to one side
  • Shoulders straight
  • No visible support

NOTES
The head and the shoulders must appear straight from the front. If the head is tilted backward, forward, or to one side, or the face is pointed to the side, human or electronic facial recognition may be obstructed.

Support may not be visible on the photograph, so the supporter’s hands should be hidden beneath the subject’s clothes.

6. Facial expression

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • Neutral facial expression
  • Looking straight at the camera
  • Mouth closed

NOTES
If the applicant’s face is to be recognized successfully by human or electronic means, the applicant must be photographed looking straight at the camera with a neutral expression and a closed mouth.

Applicants may not smile broadly or open their mouths – which does not mean that they have to look surly or sullen.

7. Eyeglasses

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • Eyes entirely visible
  • Fully transparent lenses
  • No distortion caused by reflection from the eyeglasses
  • No shadow

NOTES
The eyes must be entirely visible on the photo. This means that eyeglass frames and/or lenses may not cover the eyes in any way.

Reflection in the lenses or on the frame must be prevented as far as possible. If it is not possible to prevent reflection, the applicant must take off the glasses.

8. Exposure

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • Uniformly lit
  • Not overexposed or underexposed
  • No shadow on the face or the background
  • No reflection on the face
  • No reflection caused by accessories

NOTES
The face and the background must be uniformly lit. Underexposure or overexposure, shadow, and reflection must always be prevented.

The face may not contain white spots, as sometimes caused by a flash. Reflection can be caused by glowing skin, sweat, eyeglasses, jewelry, etc.

9. Framing

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

  • Head fully visible
  • Head centered

NOTES
The applicant must appear in the middle of the photograph. The head must be fully visible.

Only if an applicant has a high hairstyle may some of the hair not be shown.

EXCEPTIONS
The Passport Regulations permit the following exceptions:

RELIGIOUS OR PHILOSOPHICAL REASONS
If the applicant can demonstrate religious or philosophical reasons for covering the head, all the acceptance criteria described in the Guidelines are applicable, except:
– category 4 APPEARANCE OF FACE ‘head uncovered’.

PHYSICAL OR MEDICAL REASONS
Applicants who are unable to comply with all the acceptance criteria in these Photo Matrix Guidelines due to physical or medical reasons that can be objectively determined qualify for exemption. If there is any doubt about the medical reasons, the applicant may be required to submit a declaration signed by a competent doctor or medical organisation.

APPLICANTS YOUNGER THAN AGE SIX
If the applicant is a child younger than six years, minimum requirements apply to the passport photo.

The minimum requirements are all the acceptance criteria in the Photo Matrix   Guidelines except:
– category 5 POSTURE ‘eyes on a horizontal line’, ‘head not tilted to one side’, and ‘shoulders straight’;
– category 6 EXPRESSION ‘neutral expression’, ‘looking straight at the camera’, and ‘mouth closed’.
