India Passport Size Photo requirements

Passport Seva asks for a 35 × 45 mm colour photo on a white background, where the face takes up 80–85% of the photo. That works out to a head height of about 36–38 mm from chin to top of head. OCI applications use a square 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) photo instead, and PAN card forms use the smaller 25 × 35 mm stamp size. Source: official guidance.

How to make it

  1. The India passport / visa template is already selected above. Upload a clear, front-facing photo.
  2. Zoom and drag until the top of the head touches the top red line and the chin sits inside the red band.
  3. Pick your paper, then download the PDF or press Print at 100% scale and cut along the marks.
