Frequently asked questions
What size is a foto 3×4?
30×40 mm — the name comes from the 3×4 centimetre ratio. At 300 DPI the digital file should be at least 354×472 pixels.
Can I take a foto 3×4 at home?
Yes. Stand against a plain white wall with daylight in front of you, upload the photo here, and we crop it to 30×40 mm with the face at the official ratio. Print the 4×6 sheet at any loja de revelação for a few centavos.
Can I wear glasses in a foto 3×4?
Rules vary by issuing body, and the safest choice is to remove them. If you keep prescription glasses on, there must be no glare on the lenses and your eyes must be fully visible.
Does the RG really require a white background?
Yes — the national standard for the Nova Carteira de Identidade Nacional requires a plain white background. Older coloured-background photos are a common rejection reason.
