How to take a suitable photo at home

Start with a clear, natural source image so the checks can focus on the official requirements.

  • Ask another person to take the photo at eye level rather than using a close selfie.
  • Use even front-facing light and a plain white background without shadows.
  • Keep your head centred and upright, with your full face visible and both eyes open.
  • Remove glasses where possible to avoid reflections; keep hair away from your eyes.
  • Do not use filters, beauty effects, face reshaping, or AI changes to your appearance.

Common reasons Indian passport photos are rejected

A small framing, background, or image-quality problem can lead to a replacement request. Check these points before submitting.

Accepted and rejected Indian passport photo examples
  • The face is too small, too large, tilted, off-centre, or does not fill the required area.
  • The photo is blurry, dark, overexposed, red-eyed, or has glare and reflections.
  • The background is not plain white or has visible shadows.
  • Hair, glasses, or another object obscures the eyes or face.
  • The photo has been edited or does not show a natural current appearance.
