Haitian Passport Photo

Two Recent Photographs in Your Haitian Passport Application

A Haitian passport connects the traveler with evidence of citizenship and personal identity. The Direction de l’Immigration et de l’Émigration publishes different supporting-document lists according to the applicant’s circumstances, while repeatedly identifying colour photographs on a white background as part of the dossier. The photograph is therefore worth preparing alongside the civil-status papers required in Haiti.

For applications through the embassy in Washington, the published checklist requests two colour passport photographs taken within three months. It also asks for the previous passport and other identity evidence, with additional documents where a name has changed. Use our embassy and consulate directory to find the mission responsible for your application and confirm its submission arrangements.

Select a portrait that provides a current recognisable likeness. A suitable background, clear framing and good photo quality make the image easier to assess; the detailed requirements below explain those visual points. Prepare matching prints from the same original rather than assembling two similar photographs taken at different times.

Keep the photographs with the correct applicant’s identity documents, especially when a parent is arranging documents for several children. The official passport guidance includes parental evidence for minors and separate steps for lost passports. Those records establish the circumstances of the request, while the new picture shows the person who will hold the booklet. Preserve the original image so another copy can be produced if the service asks for one.
