Do I need to bring a passport photo for Peru?

No. The Peruvian electronic passport procedure is in person and Migraciones takes your photo on site, following international biometric identification standards.

What size photo does Peru require?

There is no official self-supplied photo size for a Peruvian passport — the photo is captured on site. Any size quoted elsewhere is not part of the official procedure.

What should I not wear to the appointment?

No large-framed glasses, no coloured cosmetic contact lenses, no head coverings/hats or hair covering the face, and no facial piercings.

What do I need to bring?

Adults bring the original DNI plus the payment receipt; the fee is S/ 120.90 and the passport is valid for 10 years.

Does this apply to minors too?

Yes. Minors go through the same in-person process and the photo is taken on site.

Peru Passport Photo — taken on site

For a Peruvian electronic passport you do not bring a photo. Migraciones takes it for you at your appointment, following international biometric identification standards. There is no official self-supplied size to crop to. Verified against the official gob.pe service pages, September 2026.

No self-supplied photo — it is taken on site

The electronic passport procedure is in person: you attend the appointment, your identity is confirmed, and the officer takes your passport photo there. The photo is captured according to international biometric identification standards, so there is no applicant-side frame size, background or pixel spec to prepare — and no official figure is published for one. official ↗

Because the photo is shot live at the counter, any “official size” you may see quoted for a Peruvian passport on third-party sites is not part of the official procedure — the official process does not ask you to supply a photo at all, so no size figure is given here.

What not to wear to the appointment

The official service page lists what to avoid so the on-site photo passes biometric checks. Each item is quoted from the official source:

No large-framed glasses — “No usar gafas o monturas grandes…” official ↗
No coloured cosmetic contact lenses — “No llevar lentes de contacto cosméticos de color” official ↗
No head coverings, hats or hair over the face — “No llevar prendas en la cabeza, sombreros… ni cabello cubriendo el rostro” official ↗
No facial piercings — “No llevar piercings en el rostro” official ↗

If you need a photo for something else

Peru takes the passport photo on site, so there is nothing to prepare — but if you need a photo for a visa, ID or another document, you can crop and check one locally with the photo size chart and the free tools. Nothing is uploaded; the photo stays on your device.
