Огляд

Colombia requires a 4x5 cm (472x591 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a plain white background, administered by the Cancillería (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) in coordination with the Registraduría Nacional. Colombian passport photo standards follow ICAO guidelines, requiring a frontal view with neutral expression and both eyes visible. Photos must be recent, taken within the last 6 months, and printed on high-quality photographic paper. The Cancillería accepts applications at offices throughout Colombia and at consulates worldwide, with photo requirements consistent across all locations.

Plain white background with no shadows, textures, or patterns
