The Polícia Federal captures photos on-site for most adult applicants — but not everyone.
Your biometric photo is captured at the service-centre appointment (agendamento), so you don't need a print — but your appearance must already meet the rules.
Bring one printed 5×7 cm photo on photographic paper to the appointment.
Brazilian consulates usually require applicant-supplied photos. Make yours with IDPhotoWork — cropped to 5×7 cm with a compliant white background.
