How to Upload to e-consular & Print Four 5×7 cm Photos on 4×6" Paper
- Take a front-facing portrait in bright window light against a plain white wall — zero glasses, hats, or shadows.
- Open the 50×70mm Studio above (Brazil's 5×7 cm specification shares the exact 50×70 mm / 31–36 mm head geometry of our 50×70mm preset!).
- Download the free 591×827 px portrait to upload into Brazil's e-consular validation step and RER (Recibo de Entrega de Requerimento) form.
- Unlock the 4-up 4×6" (10×15 cm) sheet to print 4 exact 5×7 cm physical photos at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, or Boots so your glued RER photo matches your e-consular upload 100%!
Avoid the Classic '5×7 cm vs 5×7 inch' US Drugstore Disaster
- Ordering a '5×7 print' on Walgreens/CVS: In the US, '5×7' means 5×7 INCHES (a bedside picture frame!), whereas Brazil means 5×7 CENTIMETERS (50×70 mm). Always print our 1800×1200 px sheet as a 4×6 inch print!
- Submitting a 2×2 inch US square on the RER form: Leaves gaps in the 5×7 cm box or fails consular proportion checks (note: some consulates also accept 2×2" for VIVIS tourist visas, so check your consulate's instructions).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Brazilian passport photo 5x7 cm or 2x2 inches?
Brazilian Consulates specify 5x7 cm (50x70 mm) on the RER passport form (though several US-based Brazilian consulates also accept 2x2 inch photos — 50x70 mm fits the official RER box natively).
How do 4 photos of 50x70mm fit on one 4x6 inch (10x15cm) print?
Because 70mm x 2 = 140mm (< 152.4mm / 6 inches) and 50mm x 2 = 100mm (< 101.6mm / 4 inches), rotating each 50x70mm tile sideways packs 4 full-size photos onto a single 4x6 sheet!
Can I use the free single image for the Brazilian e-consular upload?
Yes! Download the crisp 591x827 px portrait for free and upload it directly during your e-consular appointment validation.
