Argentina photo requirements

Argentina photo requirements are set by Registro Nacional de las Personas (Renaper), Secretaría de Interior. We publish 2 documents: 1 passport and 1 ID card. The most common print size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 in x 1.77 in). Each page quotes the official rule for size, head height, background and file, links the source we read, and shows the date we last checked it (most recently 2026-10-09).
