French Residence Permit Photo Guide

Get the right size and format for your French residence permit application in French Guiana. Follow these official rules to prepare your photo correctly.

Official Size and Measurements

For the listed residence-permit applications, the cited regulation requires three recent, front-facing identity photos measuring 35 by 45 mm (about 1.38 by 1.77 inches), or a valid digital photo-signature code for an online application[1].

The cited regulation does not set a separate head-height measurement[1].

Background and Lighting

The regulation states that you need a recent, front-facing, bare-headed photo following standard ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005 rules[2][1]. No specific background color is stated in the cited regulation[2][1].

To get good lighting, face a bright window while someone else takes your picture. Keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away from your face to avoid distortion.

Glasses, Headwear, and Expression

For infants and toddlers, lay them on a plain light surface or support them gently. Try to capture a front-facing view with their eyes open and mouth closed.

Printing and Submitting Your Photos
