Portugal Passport Photo: what you need to know
A standard Portuguese electronic passport has no photo size or background for you to meet, because you do not bring a photo: it is taken when you apply in person. Printed photos are needed for a temporary passport, and the official pages we found give no size in millimetres for it, only passport-style, in colour, on a plain background. A photo you make yourself will not be used for the electronic passport, but it can matter for a Schengen visa to Portugal, where one post sets 3.5 × 4.5 cm.
Why don't you need a photo for the electronic passport?
The passport is biometric. Madeira's regional government says the biometric data is collected when you apply, so there is no need to bring a photo. The Portuguese consulate in Zurich says the same: "Não são necessárias fotografias" (no photographs are needed).
You must apply and collect in person. In Portugal, go to an Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado (IRN) counter or a Loja do Cidadão. An appointment is recommended, and airport counters work by appointment only. Normal, urgent and airport-urgent services exist. An urgent passport takes one working day if requested by 11:00.
How does applying from abroad work?
Consular posts can issue passports to Portuguese citizens living abroad. A valid Cartão de Cidadão or Bilhete de Identidade is required, and no other document can replace it. The consulate in Salvador collects your photo, height, fingerprints and signature in person, and advises against white clothing because it interferes with photo quality.
Gov.pt lists these consular fees: €105 for a normal request, €110 for express and €120 for urgent. For an applicant under 18, a person with parental responsibility applies, and the minor must attend too.
When do you need printed photos for a Portuguese passport?
Only for the temporary passport, which is issued in proven urgent cases. It is not biometric, is valid for one year, and the destination country may not accept it, so check first. Zurich and Salvador ask for two identical passport-style face photos taken less than a year ago. Salvador adds that they must be in colour on a plain background, sized to suit the passport model.
What photo do foreigners need for a Portuguese Schengen visa?
This is the most likely use for a printed photo. Portugal's visa portal only says "passport photograph", and the details come from each post, so follow your own post's list:
- Shanghai: two matching colour photos, 3.5 × 4.5 cm, high resolution, with no digital retouching. Caps, hats, hair or earrings must not hide any part of the face
- Washington: two identical photos with a white background and a neutral expression, framed from the shoulders to the top of the head with ears visible
- Tokyo: a colour photo showing only the face, from the front, on plain white with no shadows and no sunglasses or reflective glasses. No part of an accompanying adult may appear in a minor's photo
- Toronto: one small colour photo meeting European requirements
How should you prepare a visa photo?
Where a post bans digital retouching, a retouched image does not meet its rule, so use an unaltered photo for that post. Otherwise, you can prepare the common format with our Schengen visa photo tool and print copies on a 4×6 print sheet maker.
Do I need a photo for the Cartão de Cidadão?
The consulates in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro collect the photo with your height, fingerprints and signature when you attend in person. Their Cartão de Cidadão pages describe no photo for you to supply.
Can I apply for a new passport and a Cartão de Cidadão on the same day?
The consulate in Rio de Janeiro allows this only if your current card is still valid on the appointment day, and you need two separate appointments. It warns against booking a passport before you have a valid card in hand.
How many photos does a Portuguese visa application need?
There is no single number across posts. Toronto asks for one, while Washington and Shanghai ask for two. Washington attaches one of the two to the form.
