Mozambique passport photo size & rules
Mozambique's passport is issued by the National Directorate of Migration under the Ministry of the Interior, which manages the country's biometric travel documents. The photograph you provide must measure 35mm by 45mm and be taken against a plain white background with even, shadow-free lighting. Keep your head centred so it fills roughly 70 to 80 percent of the frame, look straight into the camera, and maintain a neutral expression so your facial biometrics are captured reliably. Mozambican applicants at consulates abroad are held to the same biometric photo standard as those enrolling domestically.
Your entire face, from the hairline to the chin, needs to be clearly visible, with no shadows falling on the backdrop or across your features. The migration offices often reject photographs that are dim, printed on a tinted background, taken while wearing a cap, or where reflections obscure the eyes. A correctly formatted photo is especially helpful for Mozambican citizens travelling within the SADC region and applying for international visas, since the printed image is checked against the traveller at border control.
Pixohub creates your Mozambique passport photo fully in your browser, so nothing is ever uploaded, your image stays private, and the tool is free to use. Official requirements can be revised over time, so please verify the current specifications with the National Directorate of Migration before you print your photograph or submit your passport application.
