Wallis and Futuna National Identity Card Photo Rules
Get your Carte nationale d'identité photo right by following the official size and application rules for Wallis and Futuna[1].
The Official Photo Size
When you apply for a Carte nationale d'identité (CNI) in Wallis and Futuna, you need to provide specific photographs[1]. The official size required by the Administration supérieure des îles Wallis et Futuna is 35 by 45 millimeters, which translates to about 1.38 by 1.77 inches[1]. You must submit two identical color identity photos with your application[1]. Make sure you measure your prints carefully to match this exact dimension before you submit them to the office[1].
The tool above can help you crop your image to 35 by 45 millimetres and arrange it on a 4 by 6 inch sheet. Check the printed photo size with a ruler before submitting it.
Head Size and Framing Rules
The official guidelines from the issuing authority do not set a specific head height requirement for your identity card photo[1]. Because of this, you should focus on keeping your face centered and clearly visible within the 35 by 45 millimeter frame[1]. Leave a small, balanced amount of space around your head and shoulders so your entire face is easy to see[1].
When you take your picture, position the camera directly at your eye level. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera to avoid any distortion of your facial features. If you are taking the picture yourself, ask a friend or family member to help you frame the shot correctly.
Background and Lighting Setup
The cited source does not specify a background color for the identity card photo[1]. A plain background may make your face easier to see, but it is not a stated local requirement.
Good lighting helps the office staff clearly identify you from the photo. Face a natural light source like a large window while someone takes your picture. Avoid harsh shadows on your face or behind your head by stepping slightly away from the wall. Turn off any overhead lights that create strange glares or uneven lighting tones.
Expression and Personal Items
The cited source does not specify rules for expression, glasses, or headwear[1].
The cited source does not say whether glasses or headwear are allowed. Check with the local office if you need guidance on either.
Rules for Minors and Children
A minor applicant must be present, and a parent or legal guardian must sign the application[1].
The source does not provide separate photo-taking rules for babies or toddlers. Check with the authority if you need advice for a young child.
Printing and Preparing Your Photos
The application page asks for two identical color identity photos in 35 by 45 millimetre format[1].
You can place your cropped 35 by 45 millimeter photos onto a standard 4 by 6 inch template using the tool above. Save the template as a standard image file and take it to any store with a photo printing kiosk. Print the file on glossy or matte 4 by 6 inch photo paper, then use scissors or a paper cutter to cut out your two identical photos accurately[1].
