Generic Passport / Visa Photo (35x45 mm & 2x2 in) photo & signature rules

Beyond the size, the Generic Passport / Visa Photo (35x45 mm & 2x2 in) 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.
  • Use a plain, light-coloured background.
  • For the US-visa variant, use a 51×51 mm (2×2 inch) photograph.

Common reasons Generic Passport / Visa Photo (35x45 mm & 2x2 in) 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 10–500 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.
