About this photo
Applying through the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (DGI&P)? The Pakistan Passport photo it wants measures 35 by 45 mm. 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. Frame it so the head takes 32 to 36 mm of the 45 mm height. A white background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. Colour photo, white background. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. We make the Pakistan Passport photo to this specification from your own picture and show you the result before you pay.
