Indian passport (Passport Seva): exactly 630 x 810 px

Passport Seva is the one Indian application that requires a non-square photo. Get the pixel count exact:

  • Pixel dimensions: exactly 630 x 810 px (7:9 portrait) — square photos used for e-Visa or OCI fail upload
  • File: JPEG, under 250 KB
  • Background: plain white only (not off-white, not cream)
  • Signature image: required separately — JPEG, 140 x 60 px, under 250 KB

ICAO is mandatory and enforced

Since September 2025, all Passport Seva applications must meet ICAO standards. Non-compliant photos are rejected at portal upload, not flagged for manual review. Glasses are no longer permitted — automatic rejection even without glare.

CKGS (US applicants) needs 2 x 2 inch prints

If you apply through CKGS in the US (Houston, SF, Atlanta, Chicago, NY, DC), the digital upload is still 630 x 810 px — but the printed copies must be 2 x 2 inches, not 35 x 45 mm. Many applicants submit the wrong print size and get the package returned.

For e-Visa specs see Indian Visa Photo; for OCI see Indian OCI Photo.

Common rejection reasons at Passport Seva

  • Photo not exactly 630×810 pixels — Passport Seva enforces strict pixel dimensions at upload; ±5 px causes upload failure
  • File over 250 KB — strict JPEG size limit; many phone cameras produce 4-8 MB files that fail the upload
  • ICAO non-compliance (since September 2025 update) — Passport Seva now rejects non-ICAO 9303 photos that previously passed
  • Glasses (since 2024) — even prescription frames; this rule tightened with the ICAO update
