Crop a photo to 35 × 43 mm — Peru ID card

Exact numbers for this document

How to crop it, in three steps

1. 01

   Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light

2. 02

   The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%

3. 03

   Save the 35 × 43 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

Do not confuse it with another Peru document

Peru does not use one frame for everything. This page is about ID card — 35 × 43 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

Glasses in the frame. This document does not accept them at all — take them off and shoot again.

Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one

Peru-specific things to know

• In Peru the photograph is taken by RENIEC itself — live capture, free of charge — and a printed photograph is only a fallback for agencies without it.
• RENIEC says to wear clothes that are neither white nor striped for the online-renewal photograph, and to have another person take it at 1–1.5 metres.
• The size 35 × 43 mm appears only on the page for the first adult DNI abroad; elsewhere RENIEC says «passport size».

What the source confirms

• RENIEC, frequently asked questions of the DNI: the photograph (live capture) is free of charge at the RENIEC service centres; only where the agency or service point has no such service must the applicant present a printed photograph, passport size, in colour, on a white background, non-porous, without a frame, frontal, without glasses, without retouching, without smiling, with the face and ears uncovered and nothing on the head except religious items.
• Same FAQ, children and other procedures: live capture is free from the age of 7 at the RENIEC centres; for some procedures a current passport-size colour photograph of the whole face, without glasses and without smiling, on a white background, is asked for unless the office has live capture; changing the photograph on a valid DNI is done at a RENIEC office, where the photograph is taken free of charge by live capture against the payment receipt.
• gob.pe, «Renovar DNI azul o DNIe para mayores de 17 años»: from the age of 17 the adult DNI is renewed in person at a RENIEC service centre, to register the fingerprints and update the photograph free of charge; the new DNIe 3.0 is valid for 10 years; a person who lives abroad does the procedure at the Peruvian consulate; online, the applicant downloads the DNIBioFacial app, identifies with an image capture and updates the DNI photograph.
• RENIEC press note of 22 August 2026, online renewal: available to adults with an expired DNI or within 60 days before the expiry; the photograph must be taken with the help of another person, at 1 to 1.5 metres, with good lighting, a white background and no shadows; the citizen appears without glasses or head items, not smiling, in clothes that are neither white nor striped, showing the face and ears, with the whole head visible; the photograph is updated compulsorily in the virtual renewal; the phone must have more than 3 GB of RAM.
• gob.pe, «Solicitar DNI por primera vez para mayores de edad en el extranjero»: among the documents, a current colour photograph on a white background, passport size (35 mm × 43 mm), non-porous, without retouching, with the face uncovered, without glasses and without head accessories (except an item for religious reasons).
