Tips to get it right the first time
- Leave room around your head: the bottom of the photo should be at your shoulders, and you can crop it when you upload.
- Don't text the photo to yourself: messaging apps lower its quality.
- An employee reviews the photo again after you submit; if it fails, they will ask you for a new one.
How to do it with Requisito Listo
- Open the «Photo for online passport renewal» 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.
