How the Italian passport photo process works

Italy's fototessera is 35×45 mm on a plain, uniform background — white or very light grey — with the head 32–36 mm from chin to crown and at least 4 mm of space above the hair. The expression must be neutral with the mouth closed, no glasses, and the face fully uncovered. Passport appointments are booked through the Questura's online agenda, and you typically hand in two identical prints in person. Snapfora sizes to 35×45 mm, leaves the required top margin, and flags head height so both prints match before your Questura appointment.

Printing an Italian passport photo

Italian photo studios and the booths in stations and post offices print fototessere to spec for a few euros — convenient because the Questura wants two matching prints. To print your own, tile the 35×45 mm image onto a 10×15 cm sheet at any photo kiosk and cut two identical copies along the guides. Keep the same digital file in case the appointment system asks for an upload.
