How it works
Your Pakistan Passport Photo in 3 Steps
Take it as a selfie, the software measures it, and every rule is checked before you pay.
Take It As A Selfie
Hold your phone at arm's length and the camera guide sets the distance, tilt and light. Prefer a helper? Hand them the phone. Or upload a photo taken in the last 6 months.
We Check Every Rule
The software sizes the file to the 35 x 45 shape and checks the white background, glasses and pose against each DGIP rule. Your face is never edited.
Get Your Photo File
We email you the JPEG within minutes, once the final automated check passes. You upload it yourself on the DGIP portal when you renew. Email only, nothing is posted.
- Plain white background
- At least 350 x 467 px, JPEG under 350 KB

Three Tips Before You Take the Photo
Get these three right and the software handles the rest.
Take It As A Selfie
Hold the phone at arm's length, at eye level. The guide sets the distance and framing for you.
Face The Camera
Look straight at the lens with your head level, eyes open, mouth closed and a neutral expression. Glasses off.
Use A Plain White Wall
Stand a step away from a plain white wall, facing a window, so your face is evenly lit with no shadows.

Accepted or Double Your Money Back
Every photo gets two automated checks: one while you take it, before you pay, and a final check of the finished photo before we release it. Add the Acceptance guarantee at checkout for $6.99 and that final check is stricter. If the passport office rejects the photo, email us within 14 days of the rejection and you get twice what you paid.
Pakistan Passport Photo Requirements, in Plain Words
DGIP publishes the rules for the photo you upload when you renew online. Each one is explained below.
Size And File
DGIP gives the size as 350/467 pixels in JPEG. Its portal shows a 35 x 45 mm photo, and the file limits on DGIP pages run from 350 KB to 5 MB.
Your file is a JPEG under 350 KB in the 35 x 45 shape, larger than 350 x 467 pixels, so it fits all of them.
White Background
Plain white, with no shadows, patterns, objects or other people in the photo.
Head And Shoulders
A close up of your full head and the top of your shoulders, facing the camera, with both edges of your face showing. From chin to crown, your head is 29 to 34 mm of the 45 mm height.
No Glasses
The DGIP photo guide says your eyes must show clearly, with no glasses on. Clear lenses come off too, and the camera check asks for it.
Selfie Or A Helper
Take it yourself with the camera guide. It sets the distance, height and framing, so your selfie looks the way a photo taken by someone else would. A friend can hold the phone if you prefer.
Head Covering
A head covering worn for religious reasons is fine if your face shows from the bottom of your chin to the top of your forehead, with both edges of your face clear.
Before you pay, the software checks size, background, framing, expression, glasses and lighting. It cannot tell when a photo was taken, and DGIP wants one from the last 6 months, so take a new one.
Using Your Photo for the Online Renewal
The digital photo for renewing your Pakistani passport online, delivered by email.
Online Renewal On The DGIP Portal
The photo you upload on onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk, the DGIP e-Services portal, when you renew your passport online from abroad.
Email Delivery Only
A JPEG sent by email within minutes, ready to upload. Nothing is posted and there is no shop pickup.
Using The Pak ID App?
NADRA's Pak ID app uses the photo from its own face check unless you tap Upload and add one that meets the passport photo standards. This photo is made to that standard.
Renewing In Person?
At the Pakistan missions in London, Jeddah and Manama, staff take your photo at the appointment. This photo is for renewing online.
We Make The Photo Only
You fill in and pay for your own renewal on the DGIP portal. We do not apply for you or contact DGIP, NADRA or any embassy.
Taken In The Last 6 Months
DGIP asks for a photo no more than 6 months old. An older photo can be refused, so take a fresh one.

Why Pakistan Passport Photos Get Rejected, and How We Catch It
Each of these breaks a DGIP rule:
- glasses, or glare on your eyes
- a background that is not plain white
- shadows on your face or behind you
- a head that is too small or cut off in the frame
- a file over the 350 KB limit of the portal's photo checker
The software checks for each of these before you pay.
What We Do Not Do to Your Photo
We size the file and keep your full head and the top of your shoulders in the 35 x 45 frame. We do not change your face, your features, your eyes or your expression. When the wall behind you is not plain white, we change only the background, to plain white. A plain white wall behind you gives the cleanest result.
