How to do it with Requisito Listo
- Open the «Citizenship application photo (online)» template in the app.
- Take the photo with the on-screen guide (or pick one from your gallery).
- The app centers your face, makes the background white and gets the exact size and file weight.
- Check the checklist, then upload or save it.
At the end you'll see a checklist: size, file weight, background and format. If something doesn't comply, it tells you what to fix before the portal rejects it.
