I can't seem to find earlier posted info about the new PHOTO SPECIFICATIONS for the new FM3 cards
Exact SIZE:
B/W or Color:
Views ( Front L and/or R profiles ? ):
Quantity of each:
anything else I need to know:
I'll be in Loreto in March to do my renewal w/ the new format / card ~ and I'd like to make sure I take photos that meet the new requirements. I like
to go in prepared instead of having to run around town for this & that...
Thanks for the assist !

You should leave it to a studio in Loreto. They have to be exactly perfect in size, BW, pose and number. The studio knows what you need and they're
fast.Bob and Susan - 2-8-2011 at 10:52 AM

I am getting my first FM2 card and I had to get 6 right side, 6 full face, all in color on white background...cost 160mn. no glasses, no jewelry,
including ear rings, hair behind my ears.
OOPS: size is infantil
BUT I agree with Dennis, the photolab will know.

Yeah....it's one of those things that are different wherever you are. My FM2 renewel fotos had to be B/W.
Federal regulations are only good til the end of the block.rhintransit - 2-8-2011 at 04:00 PM
do it at the (only) photo store in Loreto. they take it one day, you come back the next. 200 pesos for the right number, poses, size. tell them FM2
or FM3. be prepared to have your hair sprayed down, swept off the face and behind the ears. or do your hair yourself first.luckyone - 2-8-2011 at 06:17 PM
the photographer knows. hair has to be behind ears, they are strict about that. no make up, etc. my photographer photoshopped mine a little to make me
look about 5 years "fresher".

For my new card FM-3 renewal pictures were in color. Agree with the others who suggested you get them taken where you will renew, the digital stuff
makes it fast and painless and you will get the right stuff the first time as these photo places take these pictures everyday.willyAirstream - 2-14-2011 at 06:05 PM
Today at Santa Rosalia - 6 each in Color for fm3. I did them myself, no problem. btw, they speak English, are friendly and efficient. They did ask
for 150 peso to type a letter, but after paying, they said I no longer needed the letter. I think it was for lunch, but hey, that was fine.
on edit - I had 6 photos each, front and right side and they took all of them. No smiles.

I'd heard that but the Loreto place said no, and I've got a nice big grin on my new card...
another reason to get your photos locally...durrelllrobert - 2-15-2011 at 11:42 AM

Man, they must think gringos are really gullible or stupid. Did they really charge you for a letter and then the same office said it was not
necessary?
Well. I guess if you are OK with that, it's bound to continue..................willyAirstream - 2-15-2011 at 06:23 PM
You are absolutely correct Hook. I should have not enforced this practice by paying it. I wasn't 100% sure what was going on and when I asked my
Mexicano friend, who was with me, he said pay and let's go. It was a typing fee, maybe when I return I will see something.
