FAQ

What people ask before their Questura visit.

Will this work for renewal and first-time passport?

+
Yes. The Polizia di Stato uses the same 35×45 mm white-background spec for first-time, renewal, lost-passport and child passport applications.

Does it work at an Italian consulate abroad?

+
Yes. Italian consulates in the US, UK, Germany, Brazil and Argentina follow the same Polizia di Stato photo spec.

Same photo for the Carta d'Identità Elettronica (CIE)?

+
The CIE accepts a similar 35×45 mm photo, though it's typically captured at the comune at the appointment. The spec is compatible.

Glasses, head covering?

+
No glasses (clear or tinted). Religious head coverings are accepted only if the face is fully visible.

What if the Questura rejects?

+
Full refund of US$4.99 via PayPal within 24 hours.
