Portugal quirks worth knowing
- IRN standard, EU biometric: Portuguese passport photos follow the EU biometric regulation and ICAO 9303, administered by the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado. A compliant 35 × 45 mm photo is valid for the passport and accepted for most Schengen visa files too.
- One photo for Lusophone neighbours: Brazil's eVisa uses the same 35 × 45 mm size — but Brazil expects a white background, so shoot against a white wall and this one crop covers both.
- CC card vs passport: the citizen card (Cartão de Cidadão) photo counters follow the same biometric standard. If you shoot one clean photo against a plain wall, it works for both documents.

- Upload a photo taken against a plain wall (see the home photo guide).
- Face detection frames the crop; download for printing at 413 × 531 px.
