Official Mauritanian residence permit photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationThe official residence-card procedure in Mauritania is administered by ANRPTS through citizen reception centres. Its supporting guidance distinguishes private-sector workers, public employees, diplomatic-mission staff and students. The photograph identifies the individual, while the employment or enrolment evidence establishes why that individual is applying to reside in the country.
For example, the published checklist asks students for valid enrolment evidence and workers for documentation appropriate to their employment. These are category-specific requirements, not interchangeable substitutes. Keep passport details consistent with the residence application so the identifying image is attached to the correct record at the receiving centre.
Prepare a portrait with a recognisable likeness, reviewing photo quality, framing, background and facial expression through the detailed guidance below. Establish the centre’s current capture or digital delivery format arrangements before producing unnecessary copies. The supporting identity documents are separate from the portrait itself, and our biometrics guide explains their complementary roles in identification. A residence card is also distinct from permission for an initial visit: use the relevant entry process when needed rather than treating a residence application as a visa approval. Retaining a clear original image can help if a photographic correction is requested while the dossier is being reviewed.
Photo dimensions must be precise to avoid rejection. The face-to-frame ratio is equally important for proper identification.
Use a plain, distraction-free background. We replace it automatically to meet official criteria.
Proper lighting ensures your photo is clear and natural. Uneven exposure or artificial glare can lead to rejection.
Your face must be fully visible with a neutral expression for easy identification and facial recognition.
Glasses are allowed only if they do not obstruct visibility. Headwear is permitted only for valid medical or religious reasons.
Improper posture can lead to application rejection. Your face and shoulders should be correctly aligned and fully visible.
