Guatemalan Laissez-Passer Photo

Photographs for Guatemala’s Pase Especial De Viaje

The Pase Especial de Viaje is the relevant Guatemalan consular document when a citizen abroad urgently needs to return to Guatemala without a usable passport. The Foreign Ministry describes it for cases where the passport is missing or expired and the emergency can be established through a consular interview. It addresses the immediate journey rather than replacing the ordinary passport process permanently.

The ministry’s checklist includes two photographs, the travel ticket and available passport or DPI evidence. Contact the nearest consulate to explain the circumstances and confirm what it needs before assembling the final packet. The embassy and consulate directory helps locate the representation, while the available identity documents supports verification of the person requesting assistance.

Prepare consistent prints with a recognisable likeness. Review the portrait, photo quality, facial expression and framing using the requirements below, even if the journey is urgent. An image copied from an old identity document may lose detail, so keep a clear original available and follow the consulate’s instructions about the final photo format.

The published regulation describes the special pass as a single-journey document. Discuss the intended route and any transit with the consular service so the document matches the travel circumstances. Keep the photographs and supporting evidence associated with the same applicant, and ask about the subsequent passport procedure once the urgent return is resolved. The photo helps identify the traveler; the consulate decides the appropriate documentation after reviewing the case.
