This page from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) covers passports issued by Mexican consulates abroad. You book an appointment through Mexitel and go in person; in the United States there are also mobile consulates and Saturday sessions. You do not bring a photo. Consulate staff capture your biometrics: photograph, fingerprints, iris scan and signature. The rule for that photograph is short: no glasses, your head fully uncovered, facing the front, and nothing covering your face.
A minor goes with their parents or guardians, or with a person they authorise. They fill in form OP7 and consent to the child being photographed under the same rule. A child under 7 with no other photo ID can bring a medical certificate with a photo, stamped by a recognised medical institution. Consulates in the United States can hand you the passport on the day; elsewhere a full passport is printed in Mexico and can take about a month. Children under 3 get a passport for 1 or 3 years, and adults for 3, 6 or 10 years.
