Mexico visa photo, exactly 31×39 mm
The Mexican visa photo has one of the least common sizes anywhere: 31 mm wide by 39 mm high, in colour, on a white background — front view, no glasses, face uncovered. Because nothing else uses this format, photo shops routinely hand over the wrong size.

MEETS SPEC — ESTIMATED
Checked against the official specification — source cited on every document.
Worth knowing: Some consulates quote 2×2 inches instead of 31×39 mm — the two aren't even the same shape. 31×39 is the canonical SRE spec; confirm your consulate's checklist and print the size it names.

What is a Mexico Visa photo?
A Mexican visa photo is a 31×39 mm colour photograph on a white background — an unusual size used by almost nothing else, smaller than Mexico's own passport photo. One photo is affixed to the printed application form.
The rules are otherwise classic consular fare: front view, no glasses, neutral expression, face fully visible. A few consulates localize the requirement to 2×2 inches, so the post's own checklist is worth a look — the 31×39 mm SRE spec is the canonical one.
This page crops to the exact 31×39 mm proportions, checks the framing and background live in your browser, and prints eight exact-size copies on one 10×15 cm sheet.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Mexican visa photo?
31×39 mm — smaller than the Mexican passport photo and not interchangeable with it. One photo is glued to the application form.
What are the other rules?
Colour, white background, front view, neutral expression, no glasses, forehead and both face edges visible, no head coverings.
Why does my consulate say 2×2 inches?
A few posts localize the requirement to US photo sizes. Check your consulate's own checklist — if it says 2×2, use our US-format pages; if it says 31×39 (the SRE standard), this page produces it exactly.
Can I use a Mexican passport photo?
No — the passport photo is 35×45 mm. The visa's 31×39 mm crop is different; submitting the wrong size risks the application being set aside at the window.
Compliance, honestly
- We validate your photo against the official rules — we never retouch your face, and we only normalize the background where the destination country permits it.
- Every requirement is cited from official government sources, with the verification date shown on the page.
- You get a measured report, not a guarantee — final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.
