Compliance Thresholds

These are the official measurements your photo must meet to avoid rejection:

Head Height

65% – 80% of image height

Printing Your Photo

Color photo, 40x40mm square format (unique to Argentina). Cut the photo to exactly 40 x 40 mm (1.6" x 1.6") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 6 photos at this size — a cost-effective option at any photo kiosk or home printer. Leave a small margin between cuts.

The background must be plain white and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your ID Card Photo

Argentina uses a 40x40mm square photo for passports and DNI, unlike most countries. Renaper offices take photos on-site for DNI applications.

Argentina ID Card photos are typically submitted in person at a government office. Staff may photograph you on-site, but bringing a printed photo prepared to spec can speed up the process.

Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 6 months.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Photo not square (40x40mm required)
  • Glasses worn
  • Background not white
  • Head too small (under 65%) or too large (over 80%) relative to photo height
  • Non-neutral facial expression or wide smile
  • Shadows on face from poor lighting
  • Red-eye or flash glare on face or glasses
  • Head tilted or turned away from camera
  • Eyes closed or partially closed

If your photo is rejected, most authorities allow resubmission with a corrected photo at no additional charge.
