How should a Guatemala visa photo look?
Guatemala asks for a 26×32 mm photo for the passport, the DPI identity card and visa files: plain white background, ICAO 9303 as the baseline. The frame sits well below the usual 35×45 mm, so the crop runs tight.
One measurement across every office
Identity and passport offices work from the same ICAO 9303 baseline; a single well framed photo serves every file.
How PhotoID Studio builds the file
PhotoID Studio recrops your picture to true 26×32 proportions: head close to 70% of the height, 3-5 mm above the hair, white background, 300 dpi. You save the file and submit it yourself.
Shooting the source picture
Stand before a plain wall in even light and leave room around your head; the tight crop needs it. Keep your gaze straight and your expression calm.
What gets a photo refused
• A shrunken 35×45 shot; the proportions do not match. • Head share drifting from the 70% target. • Grey or shadowed background instead of clean white. • Files under 300 dpi, soft in print.
Pricing
One PhotoID Studio annual plan covers Guatemala and over 100 countries, with no per-image fee.
Frequently asked questions
Can an existing 35×45 photo just be scaled down?
No. The proportions differ, so the head ratio lands wrong. The picture needs a fresh 26×32 crop.
Which documents use this size?
The passport, the DPI identity card and visa applications all take the same 26×32 mm photo on white.
