Burkinabè Diplomatic Passport Photo

The Portrait Within Burkina Faso’s Diplomatic-Passport Request

The diplomatic-passport application published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Burkina Faso brings the applicant’s photograph together with their official function and personal identification. Its dedicated photo area shows that the portrait forms part of the individual application record. This is a separate request from the ordinary-passport service administered through the police.

The ministry’s form asks for birth-record and identity-card details, current nationality, professional function and a contact person, as well as the applicant’s signature. It also contains a section for the competent technical service’s opinion. Those fields connect the photograph with both the person and the official circumstances behind the request.

Prepare a clear portrait that provides a recognizable likeness, keeping the relevant identity documents consistent with the form. Our guidance on photo quality, framing and facial expression helps assess the image before delivery. Ask the responsible ministry service which current photograph format and number of prints it requires; the published form’s photo box alone does not establish a complete submission specification.

Retain the original digital photograph if the office requests an electronic version or a replacement output. For questions arising abroad, the embassy and consulate directory helps identify an official contact. The visa finder can support destination research, while the institution coordinating the assignment should confirm the appropriate diplomatic entry arrangements and any separate photograph needed for them.
