Mexico Passport Photo Maker — 35x45mm Photo Online
Mexico's passport photo has a deadline most countries don't impose: it must have been taken within the LAST 30 DAYS. Where the US, UK, and most others accept a photo up to six months old, a Mexican passport (pasaporte) application expects a genuinely recent image — an older photo, even a perfectly sized one, can be turned away. That freshness rule is the single most important thing to get right, so take a new photo specifically for this application rather than reusing one from a previous document.

Mexico Passport Photo Maker — 35x45mm Photo Online
Mexico's passport photo has a deadline most countries don't impose: it must have been taken within the LAST 30 DAYS. Where the US, UK, and most others accept a photo up to six months old, a Mexican passport (pasaporte) application expects a genuinely recent image — an older photo, even a perfectly sized one, can be turned away. That freshness rule is the single most important thing to get right, so take a new photo specifically for this application rather than reusing one from a previous document.
Two more Mexico-specific rules catch people out. Glasses are explicitly banned — the regulation literally says 'sin lentes' (without glasses), with no exception for ordinary prescription eyewear. And the format is 35 x 45mm (3.5 x 4.5cm) on a white background, which means a US 2 x 2 inch square photo simply cannot be used: it is the wrong shape, and cropping a square down to 35 x 45mm loses the required head proportions.
This tool crops your photo to the 35:45 ratio and resizes it to 413 x 531 pixels — 35 x 45mm at 300 DPI — with the head intended to fill 70–80% of the frame (about 32–36mm chin to crown). You frame the shot yourself with a ratio-locked crop box, and it runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Confirm the current requirements with your consulate or the SRE before submitting.
Common questions
Very recent — it must have been taken within the last 30 days, which is stricter than the six-month window many countries allow. Take a fresh photo for this application rather than reusing an older one, even if the older photo is the right size.
No. The Mexican requirement explicitly says 'sin lentes' — without glasses — and this applies to ordinary prescription eyewear, not just tinted lenses or sunglasses. Remove your glasses entirely for the photo.
No. Mexico uses 35 x 45mm, a portrait rectangle, while the US photo is a 2 x 2 inch square. The shapes differ, so a US photo can't be reused — cropping a square down to 35 x 45mm distorts the required head size. Start from a photo sized for Mexico's spec, which this tool produces (413 x 531px).
35 x 45mm (3.5 x 4.5cm) on a plain white background, with the head filling roughly 70–80% of the frame (about 32–36mm from chin to crown). This tool outputs exactly 413 x 531 pixels, which is 35 x 45mm at 300 DPI.
No — cropping and resizing happen entirely in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
