Argentine Diplomatic Passport Photo

Preparing the Portrait for Argentina’s Ceremonial Passport Process

Argentina’s diplomatic passports are administered through the Foreign Ministry’s National Directorate of Ceremonial. Decree 808/2019 assigns that directorate responsibility for issuing, renewing and cancelling diplomatic and official passports. An applicant should therefore organise the portrait within the authorised official request, rather than treating the procedure as an ordinary RENAPER passport application.

The diplomatic category is linked to the functions and eligibility described in the decree. Establish the responsible administrative contact and the documentation needed for the request before preparing the final photograph. The decree identifies the issuing competence and eligible categories, but it does not provide a complete portrait-submission checklist.

Our photo requirements below help you review the image’s composition. A clear likeness, natural facial expression, suitable background and careful framing make the face easy to identify. Check photo quality before producing prints or sending a digital photograph, and ask the coordinating service to confirm its capture or submission method. Ordinary-passport photo instructions should not automatically be presented as the diplomatic service’s rules.

The Argentina page connects this guidance with other Argentine document types. Keep the requested identity documents, previous passport where relevant and official authorisation material together as the application proceeds. The embassy and consulate directory and visa finder can support preparation for the destination, followed by confirmation of any official visa or accreditation arrangements. The photograph supports the identity page; eligibility for the diplomatic passport and permission to enter another country depend on their respective procedures.
