India Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for India Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a India Passport while renewing from abroad, booking a US consular appointment, or submitting an online US form. GOV.UK photo rules do not apply to that file — only India specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to India Passport as a India travel / passport photo (35 × 35 mm, White). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
British applicants routinely paste a 35 × 45 mm HMPO-style portrait into a India form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for India Passport at 35 × 35 mm on White.
Official framing for India Passport on FotoPass is 35 × 35 mm with a White background. Treat any other country’s booth print as a different template.
Practical UK workflow: selfie in daylight near a window (avoid yellow tungsten alone), confirm India Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the India online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs India Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. India Passport needs 35 × 35 mm (exact millimetres above). Phone “perspective” tools cannot invent the missing width legally.
If a UK chemist already printed 35 × 45 mm, leave that print for UK renewals. Generate a separate India Passport file on FotoPass for India passport filings.
Filing India Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online India passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches India rules. Embassy / consulate appointments serving UK residents still expect the same 35 × 35 mm standard — bring the newest download, not last year’s holiday snap.
Compress for portal kilobyte caps only after FotoPass has set the biometric frame for India Passport.
India passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to India Passport only: 35 × 35 mm on a White background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “India passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
India passport note
Passport Seva style uploads are picky about pixels and background. India Passport exports 35 × 35 mm / White — convert HEIC to JPEG before portal upload.
UK → India passport photo gate
- Form asks for India Passport, not a UK passport photo
- Canvas is 35 × 35 mm, not 35 × 45 mm
- Backdrop is White (not cream booth paper)
- No stretched HMPO JPEG
- Neutral expression; glasses policy checked against India passport rules
- Selector still shows India Passport while the site market is United Kingdom
Treat UK and India photo products as two different SKUs — this page only manufactures the India Passport passport one.
