Official Malagasy diplomatic passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationMadagascar’s diplomatic-passport service has a dedicated online pre-enrolment form with a photograph field. Its image instructions specify a JPG file below 50 KB and dimensions of 431 × 555 pixels. These are requirements of that particular upload, not a general file-size rule for every passport or visa associated with Madagascar.
The Ministry separately explains that the holder attends for fingerprints and a photograph that will be printed directly in the diplomatic passport. The uploaded image and the later capture therefore serve distinct stages. Keep the online request and supporting identity documents aligned with the official application rather than treating successful upload as completed enrolment.
For the supplied portrait, preserve a recognisable likeness while preparing the required digital delivery format. Review image resolution and photo quality when compressing the image so the file remains clear at the specified dimensions. The Ministry’s guidance also addresses facial expression and background; the detailed checks below help with those visual aspects. Our biometrics guide explains the later capture process. Use the diplomatic or service category actually authorised for the applicant, since the shared online platform does not make those passport categories interchangeable or replace the approval of the responsible Ministry office.
