Official Algerian laissez-passer photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationAn Algerian consular laissez-passer is an exceptional travel document for returning to Algeria after the loss or theft of a passport. The consulate in Metz describes its use for an Algerian national who is not registered with the consulate. It is valid for one return journey by the most direct route, rather than serving as a replacement passport for repeated travel.
Metz requests three recent, identical, front-facing photographs measuring 35 by 45 millimeters. These prints accompany evidence of Algerian nationality, the loss or theft documentation and a transport ticket. The portrait provides the current visual identity, while the supporting identity documents help establish who is requesting the emergency document.
Contact the responsible office early: the published Metz instructions ask for the application seventy-two hours before departure. Use the embassy and consulate directory to find the office handling your location, and describe the intended journey when confirming its checklist. The visa finder can support research about another country on the route, but does not establish whether that country accepts this particular emergency document.
For the photo set, inspect photo quality, maintain a recognizable likeness and review framing against the requested format. The photo requirements offer preparation guidance without changing the limited purpose of the laissez-passer. Keep all three images together with the application so the consulate can process one consistent file, particularly when the original passport is no longer available.
