About this photo

The Indian Voter ID (EPIC) photo accepted by the Election Commission of India is a 35 by 45 mm portrait. 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. A photo taken at home with a phone is fine provided it meets these rules; ask someone else to take it at eye level. One recent, unsigned colour photograph. There is no upload step: the photo is handed in as a print with the paper application. The Indian Voter ID (EPIC) photo comes back sized, with a clean background and a head-size check, before you are asked to pay.
