Requirements for Your Professional Fisherman's Booklet Photo
Get the right photo for your Livret professionnel du marin pêcheur application in French Polynesia[1].
Official Size for the Application
The checklist requires a 35×45 mm photo, about 1.38×1.77 inches[1].
The checklist asks for two recent, front-facing photos measuring 35 mm wide by 45 mm high[1].
When you prepare your images, pay close attention to the width and height to avoid delays in processing your professional seafarer booklet.
Head Height and Framing Rules
The checklist gives the photo's width and height but does not specify a separate head-height measurement[1].
However, you should still center your face properly in the frame so you look balanced and easy to identify. Keep your head straight and avoid tilting it to the left or right.
Make sure your entire face from your chin to the crown of your head is fully visible and well-proportioned in the picture.
Background and Lighting Standards
The checklist requires recent, front-facing, bareheaded photos but does not specify a background color[1].
Good lighting is very important for a clear picture. Face a window with soft natural light or use balanced lamps to avoid dark shadows on your face or on the wall behind you.
Clear lighting helps the office staff see your features clearly without distortion. Make sure you stand a little bit away from the wall to prevent casting a shadow right behind your head.
Headwear, Hair, and Facial Features
You must be bareheaded in the photo[1].
The checklist does not specify whether glasses are allowed[1]. Ask the office if you need guidance.
Look directly at the camera lens.
Print Submission and Quantity
The checklist requires two printed photos[1].
Submit the two printed photos with your application[1].
You can easily format your cropped image onto a standard 4×6-inch photo sheet so you can print it cheaply at any local store, pharmacy, or photo printing kiosk.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Taking Your Photo
You can take the picture with a camera or phone. Ask someone to help if you want a hands-free photo.
Set the camera about one to one-and-a-half meters away from your face. Keep the lens level with your eyes so the angle is flat and natural.
Stand up straight, relax your shoulders, and look straight into the lens.
Preparing Your Photo with the Tool
Getting your pictures ready for your paperwork can take time and careful attention. You can use the tool above to crop your photo to the correct 35×45 mm dimensions.
Once you have the right crop, you can arrange it on a printable 4×6-inch template.
Always check your printed results against the official checklist before you submit your application[1].
Before You Go
Check that your printed photos are sharp, clear, and not blurry.
Cut the pictures carefully along the correct borders using clean scissors or a paper cutter so they measure exactly 35×45 mm.
Bring both required copies with you to the office so you have what the checklist asks for[1].
