Tips for taking your own biometric photos

Follow these steps to get the best results

Distance from the camera while taking a passport photo

Mind the distance

Pose 4–6 feet (1–2 meters) from the camera. Use a timer to take your photo or have someone snap it for you.

passport photo posture: Straight ahead

Face the camera directly

Keep your head straight. Avoid tilting your body or looking away. Remember: portrait mode is not suitable for any ID photos.

Passport photo lighting

Ensure good lighting

Take your photos in daylight e.g., next to a bright window. Shadows on your face or in the background are not allowed.

What are the Indian passport photo requirements?

Our passport photo tool automatically prepares a photo 100% in line with the official regulations. To get accepted by the authorities, your Indian passport photo must:

  • Have a plain white or off-white background
  • Have no shadows or objects visible in the background
  • Have your head centred with a full face view, open eyes, and closed mouth
  • Measure 2x2 inches (51x51 millimetres) when printed or between 350x350 and 1000x1000 pixels in a digital format

Here are also some rules to remember about the passport photo dress code:

  • Wear casual, everyday clothes. Avoid the white colour
  • You can wear glasses as long as they don’t cover your eyes or facial features and don’t cause glares or reflections
  • Head coverings are acceptable only for medical or religious purposes

Baby’s passport photos in India must follow the same requirements regarding neutral expression, closed mouth, and direct look into the camera. The passport requirements are more relaxed for children in the following areas:

  • Head height
  • Eyes and face position
  • Facial expressions for newborns or infants

Passport photographs for children aged 10 and older must follow the same requirements as photos for adults.
