Verified official information
What to know about Portugal passport photo
The Portuguese Electronic Passport is requested in person and its biometric data are captured at the counter. An ordinary electronic passport does not require the applicant to bring a 35 × 45 mm photograph.
From everyday portrait to compliant result: Portugal passport photo
We adjust the size and framing to the document's exact format without replacing the background or altering your appearance.
How it is actually submitted
The applicant attends an IRN counter, Citizen Shop or consular office with a valid Citizen Card or Identity Card and the previous passport for a renewal.
How to prepare
Book or take a ticket for in-person service and attend with an unobstructed face. Do not prepare a print unless applying for a temporary passport and expressly instructed by the authority.
Common rejection reasons
- Confusing the electronic passport with a temporary passport
- Bringing an external photo to replace biometric capture
- Not attending personally or lacking valid identification
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.
