Free Philippines CLCCM Photo — 35×45 mm, White Background

Applying for a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage (CLCCM) — sometimes called an LCCM — as a Filipino national marrying a foreign national abroad? IDPhotoBy formats your own photo to the exact 35×45 mm size with a plain white background — free, no payment required. We prepare the digital file online; you then print it yourself and bring or mail it to your Philippine Embassy or Consulate General, since the CLCCM photo itself has no online upload portal and must be submitted as a physical print.

A Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage (CLCCM) photo must meet these requirements, based on the published guidance of the Philippine Embassy in Berlin and the Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt:

• Size: 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm), portrait orientation
• Background: plain white
• One photo each — for the Filipino applicant AND for the foreign fiancé(e); this is not a single shared photo

These are the passport-sized photo requirements for this specific document. As with any ID-style photo, use a clear, recent, well-lit shot. Requirements can vary slightly by mission, so always confirm the current specification with your own Philippine Embassy or Consulate General before you submit.

A CLCCM is required when a Filipino national residing abroad wants to marry a foreign national through their local Philippine Embassy or Consulate General — it certifies that the Filipino applicant is legally free to marry. Missions including Berlin, Frankfurt and Tokyo process this application for Filipinos living in their jurisdiction who are marrying a non-Filipino fiancé(e); the fiancé(e) also needs a photo. If both you and your partner are Filipino citizens marrying at a Philippine consulate instead, a related but different combined marriage-and-LCCM process may apply there — check with your specific mission which path fits your situation. Full marriage-application requirements are published by your Philippine Embassy or Consulate General; this page covers only the photo.

IDPhotoBy prepares your CLCCM photo online, free — no payment required. Upload the photo you already have, and we crop and resize it to the exact 35×45 mm size with the required white background. We don't retouch your face, beautify it, or generate any part of it with AI — it stays your own photo, only reframed and resized to spec. Preview the result, then download the finished file and print it yourself, ready to bring or mail to your Philippine Embassy or Consulate General. Use this free CLCCM photo maker to prepare a correctly-sized 35×45 mm photo in a few clicks — no app to download, it runs online in your browser.

The CLCCM photo itself cannot be uploaded through an online government portal — there is no digital submission channel for it. The Philippine Embassy in Berlin states that personal appearance of the applicant is required to file a CLCCM application, while the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo also allows filing by mail. In every case, you submit a printed photo together with your paper application — never a digital upload. IDPhotoBy's role stops at preparing that printed photo correctly; we don't file anything with the embassy or consulate on your behalf, and we can't guarantee any application will be accepted — no online tool can. Always confirm the exact filing method with your own Philippine Embassy or Consulate General.

Photo and filing requirements can vary by mission and may change — always confirm the current requirements directly with your own Philippine Embassy or Consulate General before you submit. IDPhotoBy is not affiliated with the Philippine government.
