What size is the Pakistani passport photo online?

Printed, 35 x 45 mm. The file: JPEG, PNG; up to 20 KB. The head takes 64% to 76% of the photo's height, from the chin to the top of the head. These are the official rules as checked on 4 November 2026.

Can I wear glasses in my Pakistani passport photo online?

Yes, but only with no tint and no glare, and with your eyes clearly visible.

Can I smile in my Pakistani passport photo online?

Facing forward, looking straight at the camera, neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open and visible.

How recent must my Pakistani passport photo online be?

Taken in the last 6 months. These are the official rules as checked on 4 November 2026.

Can I take my Pakistani passport photo online myself?

No: the official rules ask for a commercial photographer or photo studio. This page checks the photo they give you.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The photo is read and checked in your browser. The page tells our server only that a photo was checked, that it passed, or that a file was saved; never the photo, your face or any measurement. It finds where your face is in the photo; it never recognises who you are.

How is the head measured?

The page finds your chin and eyes in the photo and estimates the top of your head from your forehead, since hair hides it: the dashed line shows the estimate. If it is not at the top of your head, move it with Top of head and the checks follow.

Will my photo be accepted?

Only the issuing authority decides. A photo that passes every check here meets the published size, head and background rules as checked on 4 November 2026; you confirm the rest, such as glasses, expression and how recent the photo is.

What does the Detail check add?
