Polícia Federal — Brazilian passport photo regulations

Brazil's Polícia Federal administers passport applications. The 50 × 70 mm photo size — larger than both the US 2 × 2 and the international 35 × 45 mm — uses a plain white background and a 70–80% head-coverage envelope.

Brazilian passport photo rejection patterns from Polícia Federal data

The Polícia Federal (PF) issues Brazilian passports through its regional offices. PF uses the unusual 50 × 70 mm photo size — shared only with Canada — and enforces strict head-coverage rules (70 – 80% of photo height).

The most-common failure for Brazilian applicants is using the wrong size — many applicants size their photo to the international 35 × 45 mm standard, not realising Brazil uses the larger 50 × 70 mm format.

• Photo sized to 35 × 45 mm (international) instead of the required 50 × 70 mm
• Background colour off-white or beige instead of plain white
• Head coverage outside 70 – 80% of photo height
• Visible shadow on the face or background
• Glasses worn (PF banned them in 2017)
• Smile or open mouth
• Photo taken more than 6 months ago
• Visible jewellery that alters facial profile
• Resolution below 591 × 827 pixels

Polícia Federal submission process — agendamento and in-person

Brazilian passport applications are exclusively in-person at Polícia Federal offices:

• Online agendamento (formulario.dpf.gov.br) — mandatory first step. Book an appointment at the PF office covering your municipality of residence
• PF Regional Office in-person — bring 1 printed 50 × 70 mm photo, CPF, RG (national ID), current passport (if renewal), and the application fee (R$257.25 for adult 10-year passport as of 2026)
• PF Federal Office network covers all 27 Brazilian states plus the Federal District. Major cities have multiple PF offices
• Brazilians abroad: apply at the nearest Brazilian consulate. Same 50 × 70 mm photo spec applies globally
• Processing time: typically 6 working days at the local PF office, faster than most countries

Why Brazil uses 50 × 70 mm — the Canadian connection

Brazil and Canada are the only major countries using the 50 × 70 mm passport photo format. The shared size reflects each country's historical photo-document standards (both predating ICAO Doc 9303). Despite using the same dimensions, the two countries have different secondary requirements:

• Brazil — head must occupy 70 – 80% of photo height, plain white background, no photographer signature required
• Canada — head must occupy 31 – 36 mm chin-to-crown range, plain white background, photographer name/address/date required on the back of one print
• Practical implication: a Canadian photo can be reused for Brazil if you re-crop to the Brazilian head-coverage band; a Brazilian photo cannot be directly reused for Canada without adding the photographer information

Recent Brazilian passport changes (2024 – 2026)

Material updates Brazilian applicants should know:

• March 2024 — passport application fee increased to R$257.25 (10-year adult passport)
• September 2024 — Polícia Federal launched digital photo pre-submission via the formulário system; applicants can upload before the in-person appointment to flag photo issues early
• January 2025 — children's passport rules updated to require both parents' signed consent (previously single-parent submission was sometimes accepted)
• Mid-2026 — Polícia Federal has no specific AI-edit ban; AI background replacement and tool-based crop/resize remain accepted
