Cuba passport photo size & rules

Cuba is the largest island nation in the Caribbean, sitting where the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet. Cuban passports are issued by the Direccion de Identificacion, Inmigracion y Extranjeria (DIIE) under the Ministry of the Interior, and every application must include a photo that follows a strict format. The accepted size is 35mm wide by 45mm tall, which at 300 DPI works out to roughly 413 by 531 pixels for a digital file.

For a Cuban passport photo the background should be plain white or a light grey so that the outline of your head and shoulders is clearly separated from it. Your face must be centred and looking straight at the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open and mouth closed. Even, natural lighting is important: avoid shadows on the face or behind the head, and do not wear hats, tinted glasses or anything that hides your facial features, unless worn daily for religious or medical reasons.

With our tool you can crop and format your Cuba passport photo to the exact 35x45mm (413x531px) specification entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so the process stays completely private, and it is free to use. Because official rules can change, always confirm the current requirements with the DIIE or your nearest Cuban consulate before you submit your application.
