About this photo

The Pakistan Passport (Child) photo accepted by the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (DGI&P) is a 35 by 45 mm portrait. Colour photo, white background. Behind you: plain white, lit evenly so no shadow falls on the face or the wall. Your head should fill 70 to 80 percent of the frame height. If you apply online (DGIP online passport), the file must be at least 350 by 467 pixels, as a JPEG, no larger than 3 MB. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. We crop your picture to the Pakistan Passport (Child) format, set the background and check the head size before you pay.
