India is one of the few countries that uses a square 35×35 mm photo format for its e-Passport and most consular documents. Passport Seva (the online application portal) accepts both the square 35×35 mm and the portrait 45×35 mm formats. Photo-Visa.Online generates both formats from a single upload — choose the one your specific application requires. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) requires a plain white background, a 70–80% face fill, and a digital file no larger than 300 KB for online Seva submission.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Passport Seva have specific requirements that differ from Western standards: no glasses (banned in passport photos since 2018, no medical exception); no head covering except religious (Sikh turban, Muslim hijab, Sikh / Hindu / Jain religious garments); neutral expression with mouth closed; both ears visible if not covered by religious garment; full forehead visible — no hair across the eyebrows; plain solid-colored clothing (avoid patterns or logos); photo must be taken in person for in-counter applications, but Seva online accepts self-uploaded photos.
Top reasons Passport Seva rejects photos: wrong aspect ratio (using portrait instead of square or vice-versa — ~25%), file size over 300 KB (~20%), background not pure white (~15%), glasses (~10%), face too small in frame (~10%), use of selfie filters detected by Seva's image checker (~10%), photo older than 6 months (~5%), tilted head or off-center face (~5%). Photo-Visa.Online auto-validates each of these before payment.
The Indian 35×35 mm square format is required for: Indian Passport (new and renewal), e-Passport, Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) Card, Person of Indian Origin (PIO) Card, Indian Visa (paper applications), Aadhaar Card update (some centers), PAN Card, and Driving Licence. The 45×35 mm portrait option is accepted by Passport Seva online and most state government documents (Voter ID, ration card).
Indian photo studios charge ₹100–250 for two prints (about $1.20–3.00 USD). U.S. studios charge $13–17, but most don't stock the square 35×35 mm format. Photo-Visa.Online generates the Indian-compliant digital + print files from $3. For users abroad applying through Indian consulates (London, NY, Toronto, Dubai), Photo-Visa.Online is often the only practical option since local photo shops don't recognize the Indian format.
The standard Indian passport photo is 35×35 mm square — used for e-Passport, OCI Card, Indian Visa and most consular documents. Passport Seva's online application also accepts a 45×35 mm portrait format. The digital file must be JPEG ≤300 KB, at least 350×350 px.
India adopted the 35×35 mm square format for its e-Passport biometric chip system, which uses a square crop for face recognition. The square format is also used by the OCI Card, PIO Card and PAN Card. Most other countries use rectangular formats.
No. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) banned glasses in Indian passport photos in 2018, with no medical exception. Remove glasses entirely before the photo. Religious head coverings (turban, hijab) are allowed if the full face from forehead to chin remains visible.
Yes — Passport Seva's online application accepts photos uploaded by the applicant, as long as they meet the MEA biometric checklist (white background, no glasses, neutral expression, file under 300 KB). For in-counter consular applications, photos taken by a registered photographer are preferred.
Yes. The 35×35 mm square format is the universal Indian identity-document standard — used for Indian Passport, OCI Card, PIO Card, PAN Card, Driving Licence, and most state IDs. One photo session covers all your Indian identity documents.
Photo-Visa.Online charges $3 for a Seva-compliant digital JPEG or $4 with a printable layout. Indian studios charge ₹100–250 (about $1.20–3 USD). For applicants outside India (US, UK, Canada, Dubai), online is often the only way to get the correct 35×35 mm square format.
