Official Central African passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationFor citizens of the Central African Republic living abroad, passport applications can be organized through a visiting biometric enrollment mission. The embassy in Paris published such a mission for June 2026, with an appointment system and a file combining consular registration, civil records and photographs. This makes the photo set part of a coordinated identity check rather than an isolated passport accessory.
That specific mission requested six color photographs in the specified format with a white background. The notice also identified birth and nationality records and, for children, parental authorization. Those instructions show how the portrait accompanies evidence of who the applicant is; they should be read as the Paris mission’s checklist rather than a worldwide promise about quantities.
Preparing several prints from one recent image keeps the likeness consistent across the file. Our photo quality, framing and facial expression guides help assess the face before making the set. Retain the original digital photograph so an additional copy can be produced without photographing or scanning an already printed picture.
The June mission dates are historical, so the next enrollment opportunity should be obtained from the responsible representation. Our embassy and consulate directory helps locate that contact. Gather the requested identity documents alongside the photographs and appointment paperwork; differences in names or missing civil records cannot be resolved by a good image alone. When planning travel after issuance, use the visa finder to research the destination’s separate entry arrangements and any additional photograph it may request.
