What is a Brazil Foto 3×4 photo?
The foto 3×4 is Brazil's universal document photograph: 3 cm wide by 4 cm high, in colour, against a white or near-white background, with the head centred and a neutral expression. It is requested for the RG, CTPS work card, school and university records, concursos and countless application forms.
The Brazilian passport uses a different, larger format captured at the Polícia Federal, but nearly every other Brazilian document still asks for the foto 3×4 — usually in multiple printed copies, which is why PassportClerk's print sheet fits eight copies on a single 10×15 cm print.
Make one from a phone photo here: the checker verifies the background and framing, and the print sheet fits eight 3×4 copies on a single 10×15 cm print that costs cents at any print shop.
