India uses two different photo specs. For the Passport Seva Portal (online application): digital upload 630×810 px JPEG, under 250 KB — this is what PhotoPass generates. For consulate, VFS, or in-person submission: printed 51×51 mm (2×2 inches) square photo on photo paper. Using the wrong format for your submission channel causes instant rejection.

Common reasons India Passport photos get rejected
Avoid these mistakes to make sure your photo is accepted first time.
- Wrong photo format for submission channel — digital uploads to Passport Seva Portal must be 630×810 px (under 250 KB). Printed photos for consulate/VFS must be 51×51 mm (2×2 inches, square). Using the wrong format causes immediate rejection.
- Background is not plain white — shadows, patterns, gradients, or off-white walls cause rejection. The background must be pure white with no visible texture.
- Glasses worn in the photo — not permitted under current Indian passport rules. Remove all eyewear including prescription glasses.
- Photo is more than 6 months old — must reflect your current appearance and be taken within the last 6 months.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the correct photo size for an Indian passport in 2026?
- It depends on how you apply. For the Passport Seva Portal (online), the digital upload must be exactly 630×810 pixels in JPEG format, under 250 KB. For printed photos submitted at a consulate, VFS centre, or Passport Seva Kendra in person, the size is 51×51 mm (2×2 inches, square format on photo paper). PhotoPass generates the 630×810 px digital upload spec.
- Are glasses allowed in Indian passport photos?
- No. Glasses of any kind — including prescription glasses — are not permitted in Indian passport photos. Remove all eyewear before taking your photo.
- How recent does my Indian passport photo need to be?
- Your photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must reflect your current appearance. Photos taken in studios with visible props or artificial-looking backdrops are commonly rejected.
- Can I wear a head covering in my Indian passport photo?
- Head coverings are only allowed for genuine religious reasons. Even then, your full face from chin to forehead must be clearly visible — the covering must not cast shadows on the face.
