Frequently asked questions
What size is an Indian passport photo?
Indian passport photos must be 35mm wide and 45mm tall. This applies to regular passports, tatkal passports, and most Indian government documents. The face should occupy 70–80% of the photo height.
Can I use a photo taken on my phone?
Yes, provided it meets the specs: plain white background, adequate lighting with no shadows, face clearly visible, no sunglasses or caps. Take the photo in good natural light facing a white wall for best results.
How many passport photos do I need?
Fresh passport applications require 2 photos. Renewal applications require 2 photos. The PDF download option in this tool gives you 8 photos on one A4 sheet which you can print and cut.
