About this photo

A Luxembourg Passport photo for the Bureau des passeports, visas et légalisations (MAEE); communes; Luxembourg embassies abroad is 35 by 45 mm when printed. A photo taken at home with a phone is fine provided it meets these rules; ask someone else to take it at eye level. Frame it so the head takes 31.5 to 36.0 mm of the 45 mm height. Applicants attend in person; at the Bureau des passeports the fingerprints, facial image and signature are captured on site. Applications are made with printed photos, so you need a physical copy rather than an upload. Use a plain light grey or plain light colour or white background with nothing behind you and no shadow on the wall. We make the Luxembourg Passport photo to this specification from your own picture and show you the result before you pay.
