India Passport travel-document photo guide (India)
Scope lock: this URL is for India Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
This India page manufactures a passport / travel-document headshot for India Passport — border and renewal systems, not a driving-licence desk.
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.
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.
Shoot facing a window or soft lamp, shoulders square, no beauty filters. Upload here so FotoPass locks the biometric frame for 35 × 35 mm on White used by India passport processors.
If an older foreign crop or licence JPEG failed at renewal, do not stretch it into a travel document. Start with India Passport selected and a fresh selfie.
Border & passport-office checks for India Passport
India passport reviewers flag wrong head height, eye line, patterned walls, wide smiles and glare. Keep a plain White field behind you.
Civilian clothes only — uniforms and camouflage are classic travel-document refusals. Religious coverings that show the full face are usually fine when India policy allows them.
Passport renewal upload vs print pack
Online passport renewals want a sharp JPEG near the pixels implied by 35 × 35 mm. Paper packets may still need a physical 35 × 35 mm print — finish the biometric crop first, then choose output.
Reread the live India passport form the day you file; kilobyte caps change more often than the print millimetres.
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.
