What to know about Chile permanent residence photo

Chile’s National Migration Service (SERMIG) requires the same photograph for permanent residence as for temporary residence: colour, white background, looking at the camera, whole face visible, neutral expression, eyes open and no glasses or cap. It only sets the JPG or PNG format.

From everyday portrait to compliant result: Chile permanent residence photo

We correct the framing and prepare the white background while preserving your natural appearance.

How it is actually submitted

The photo is attached as a mandatory document on the SERMIG Digital Procedures Portal when you apply. We deliver a JPG file ready to upload. The foreigner identity card is issued later by the Civil Registry, which takes its own photo.

How to prepare

Take a new photo shortly before applying, even if you have the one from your temporary residence. Use a white wall and even light, remove glasses and cap, and look at the camera with eyes open and a neutral expression.

Common rejection reasons

  • Reusing an old temporary residence photo
  • Glasses, cap or other accessories
  • Non-white background
  • File in a format other than JPG or PNG

We check the requirements for you

You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
