Important official notes

Important Brazil caveat: this guide is for the printed 5 x 7 cm photo required for applicants under 5 or exceptional manual capture cases. Adults generally do not bring a printed photo.
Reliable secondary source for framing: ANAC's OACI photo guidance at https://www.gov.br/anac/foto_icao lists 70-80% face occupancy for the 5 x 7 passport format.

How to take the source photo

Take the source photo with even front light and no shadow behind the head.
Face the camera directly with eyes open, a neutral expression, and a closed mouth.
Frame head and shoulders so the face can be cropped to the verified head-size range.
If glasses are allowed, lenses must be clear, untinted, and glare-free.
Keep the face fully uncovered; no cap, accessory, adornment, hair, or shadow should partly cover it.

Common rejection reasons

Bringing a printed photo for an adult appointment when Polícia Federal will capture the photo on site.
Smiling, frowning, closing eyes, or opening the mouth.
Hair covering the eyes or face outline.
Necklaces, chains, or shiny jewelry covering the neck/face or reflecting light.
Shadows on the face or behind the head.
Heavy filters, beauty effects, or retouching.
Glasses with glare, tint, thick frames, or lenses covering the eyes.
Face partly covered by a cap, accessory, adornment, hair, or shadow.
