Comprobador de fotografías de pasaportes de Francia

Photo rules for France passport applications depend on the issuing authority and application type. A mismatched size, background or framing can require a new photo.

Upload your photo above to review the checks available in ImageGates. A passing result is guidance, not an official approval.

Francia requiere fotografías biométricas de pasaporte de 35×45 mm con un fondo gris claro. La Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANTS) gestiona la emisión de pasaportes franceses y hace cumplir estrictas normas que cumplen con ICAO. Las fotografías deben mostrar una expresión neutra con la boca cerrada y el rostro debe medir entre 32 y 36 mm desde el mentón hasta la coronilla. Francia utiliza fotomatones automatizados (Photomatons) aprobados por ANTS para las presentaciones oficiales.

Common France passport rejection reasons

France-specific: Ordering an off-spec size — the international 35×45 mm default is not 35×45 mm used by France, and studios often print the wrong size unless the exact dimensions are stated in millimetres.
France-specific: Using ordinary printer paper for the print — European scanners require photographic-grade paper and reject standard inkjet output for the background uniformity check.
France-specific: Uploading a photo whose background reads as close to but not exactly light gray once compressed — always verify the RGB values before submitting.
France-specific: Submitting a photo older than 6 months even if you look the same — France Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service matches EXIF dates against the application date when available.

How to pass the checker

Crop precisely to 35×45 mm
Use our free image cropper to pull the exact 35:45 ratio. Position your eyes near the upper third of the frame and leave roughly 5 mm of headroom above the hair — the proportions France Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service expects.

Vuelva a disparar con una iluminación plana y uniforme
Stand 1.5 m from a plain wall matching the required light gray background. Use two soft light sources (or window light through a thin curtain) on either side of your face to eliminate the shadow that triggers most France rejections.

Reemplace el fondo si es del color incorrecto
If our checker flags the background, compare it with the selected specification (light gray). The background remover can help prepare another preview; confirm that edited photos are accepted by the authority.

Verificar la cobertura de la cara con el corrector.
Re-upload the corrected photo and compare the framing with the selected application's guidance. Requirements for head position can vary by application.
