Ecuador passport photo size & rules
Ecuador straddles the equator on the northwest coast of South America, combining Pacific lowlands, the Andean sierra, the Amazon, and the Galapagos Islands. Ecuadorian passports are issued through the Direccion General de Registro Civil, Identificacion y Cedulacion, and each application relies on a standardized biometric photo. The required format is 35 millimetres wide by 45 millimetres tall, about 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI, giving the resolution needed for clean printing and biometric use.
The photograph must be a recent, front-facing image taken against a plain white or light grey background with even lighting and no shadows behind the head or across the face. A neutral expression is expected, with the mouth closed and both eyes open and clearly visible. The face should be centred and occupy a consistent proportion of the frame so that the Registro Civil and immigration officers can verify biometric features.
This tool creates your Ecuadorian passport photo entirely in your browser, with no upload of the image to any server, keeping it private, and it is free to use. Since official requirements can change and offices may apply additional checks, always confirm the current rules published by the Direccion General de Registro Civil, Identificacion y Cedulacion before submitting.
