Official Mauritian passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationThe Passport and Immigration Office asks for two recent identical passport-size photographs against a light background when a new Mauritius passport is requested. They accompany form PF136 and the relevant civil documents, with originals produced for verification. The photograph establishes the visible identity of the person whose citizenship and personal details are supported by the dossier.
The checklist distinguishes adult and minor applications. For a child, parental identity and civil-status evidence are part of the record, but the photograph must still identify the child individually. Where a name has changed abroad, the office requires the corresponding documentation rather than relying on a portrait to resolve the difference.
Prepare one current portrait for matching prints, preserving a recognisable likeness. Review photo quality, framing, background and facial expression using the detailed specifications below. Keep the photographs with the correct identity documents so a family’s images and forms do not become mixed. Applicants outside Mauritius can use our embassy and consulate directory to locate the relevant mission and its submission arrangements. Our visa finder helps explore the separate entry requirements of the planned destination. A complete passport dossier combines an acceptable image with evidence of who the applicant is; neither part substitutes for the other.
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.
