Taken at the consulate photos

Several documents share a size and still disagree about background, head height, glasses, and file limits. Pick the document, not just the rectangle.

• Mexico passport photo at a US consulate

  You do not buy a Mexico passport photo for a consulate in the United States. The consulate captures the portrait during the appointment. This page explains that and points you to a US passport photo if that is the document you actually need.

• Philippines passport photo at a US consulate

  Philippine consulates in the United States take the passport photo, fingerprints, and signature at your appointment. The background they use is blue. This page does not sell a photo.
