Indian Passport Photo 2026 photo & signature rules
Beyond the size, the Indian Passport Photo 2026 portal expects the photograph to follow these rules. Check each one before you upload.
- Face the camera directly, with a full front view of your face.
- Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed — avoid smiling or frowning.
- Do not wear a cap or hat; your head must be uncovered. Religious head coverings that do not hide the face are usually allowed.
- If you wear spectacles, make sure there is no glare and your eyes are clearly visible.
- Your face should cover roughly 70–80% of the frame.
- A matte-finish print is preferred over a glossy one.
Common reasons Indian Passport Photo 2026 photos get rejected
Most rejections come down to a handful of avoidable mistakes:
- The photo is not exactly 35×45 mm. Portals validate the dimensions and reject images that are even slightly off.
- The file size is outside the 10–200 KB range — the image is either too large or compressed too far.
- The background is not white, or it is patterned or shadowed.
- The photo is not saved as a JPEG file.
- A cap, hat or head covering hides part of the face.
- Spectacles cause glare or hide the eyes.
- The face is blurred, over-exposed, tilted, or not centred and clearly visible.
