France Passport / ID card (CNI) photo

Get your photo from an approved professional photographer or a photo booth approved by the Ministry of the Interior (the ANTS website can help you find one). Bring the printed photo to your appointment: town halls (mairies) in mainland France and consulates abroad do not take it. Abroad, check your consulate's advice on local studios.
