If you are applying for an Indian passport or other identification documents and you are worried about where to get a flawless passport photo — we have a solution for you. This article will show you how to significantly simplify your Indian passport application using our Indian passport photo maker — 7ID.
The prescribed size of an Indian passport photo depends on the country of application.
If you apply for an Indian passport within India, the specified Indian passport photo size in cm is 3,5×4,5. However, if you apply for an Indian passport outside India, the standard Indian passport photo size is 51×51 mm in most cases. The required passport-size photo size in inches is 2x2: this requirement applies if you are obtaining your Indian passport in the USA, as well as for the OCI card.
With 7ID's passport photo app, you can instantly convert a photo to passport size to meet any of these requirements. This includes adjusting them to the correct head size and eye line. The app also accommodates different passport photo formats. Simply select your country and document type, and the app will adjust the settings accordingly.
Most IDs, including Indian passports, require a light background. With 7ID, you can quickly change the background of your passport photo to white. All you need to do is upload your photo to the app and move the slider to the left.
For optimal results, we recommend taking the original photo against a plain background. However if your photo has a different type of background, our expert service can edit it too.
A digital passport photo provided by the 7ID app will be ready to apply with at Seva, VFS, and other government portals. If you apply for your Indian passport online, no printout is required: a digital photo file is enough.
Along with a digital file, 7ID provides a free passport photo template for printing on 4×6 inch (10×15 cm) photo paper.
With each print, you will receive four images you can easily cut out and attach to your passport application.
