Pakistani passport photo guide

Pakistani Passport Photos Online - Instant Digital + Print File

Pakistani passport and NADRA documents use a 35x45 mm photo on a plain white background. How the photo is collected depends on where you apply, so check the instructions for your channel — DGIP online renewal, a passport office, or your embassy or consulate.

Check your application channel first

Applications at a passport office usually include a photo taken during biometric capture. Online and mission applications may ask you to upload or submit a photo instead.

Follow the photo instructions shown in the portal you are using; they take priority over any general guide.

Photo checklist

A clear, evenly lit photo avoids a second trip.

  • Plain white background with no shadows
  • No glasses glare; remove glasses if unsure
  • Head straight, facing the camera
  • Printed at actual size if you need paper copies
