How to take a Mexico visa photo at home

  1. Stand about half a metre in front of a plain light wall. Face a window or a soft light. The Mexico visa needs a white background; the tool can lighten or replace it if your wall is darker.
  2. Ask someone to take the photo from about 1.5 metres at eye level, or use the camera of your laptop. Look straight into the camera with a neutral expression and your mouth closed.
  3. Take your glasses off. They are not allowed for this document.
  4. Upload the photo above. The tool crops it so that the head size matches the rule (Not stated by the authority. We use a common size: head about 66–78% of the photo height.) and then checks the photo quality.

Digital file

For the online application you upload a JPEG of 954 × 1200 px, between 2 MB and 5 MB. The tool shows the file size before you download.
