France passport photos need an approved photographer

Not for a French passport or ID card. Photos for French passports and ID cards must be taken by an authorised professional photographer or in a photo booth using an approved system. A photo you take and print yourself is not accepted. Why, and what to do instead →

The editor below starts on the Schengen visa photo (35×45 mm print) instead: CropPass can make that one.

  • Passport and ID card: photo from an authorised photographer or an accredited photo booth only
  • Size: 35×45 mm, face 32–36 mm, plain light background (light blue or light grey; white is not allowed)
  • Schengen visa photo (visiting France): 35×45 mm print, head 32–36 mm
