VFS Global's checklist for renewing (reissuing) an Indian passport in the U.S. asks for two identical 35 × 45 mm color photos on a white background, taken in the last 6 months, with your shoulders visible, no glasses and no flash reflection, compliant with ICAO rules. You also upload the photo and your signature on the government website.
35 × 45 mm. VFS Global's current checklist for adults renewing in the U.S. (May 2026) asks for "2 photos of size 35mm x 45mm". Its older checklists, from 2024 and June 2025, asked for "2 photos of size 51mm x 51 mm (2 by 2 size)", and searches still show them. Check the date on any checklist you read and follow the newest.
Indian missions' guidelines give 630×810 pixels for the online upload, and the consulate in Milan sets a maximum of 250 KB. Our file is exactly 630×810 and under 250 KB.
The full head, from the top of your hair to the bottom of your chin, with the top of your shoulders showing. The Embassy of India in Berlin gives 25 to 35 mm and ICAO's 35 × 45 photo 32 to 36 mm, so our check asks for 32 to 35 mm, which meets both.
No. VFS asks for photos without glasses, and the missions' guidelines say to take them off to avoid reflections. Our check can't see glasses yet, so take them off before the photo.
A colored top. VFS asks for a colored shirt so you stand out from the white background. Avoid white or very light clothes.
Yes. The rules are about the photo itself, not where it was taken. Stand in front of a plain white wall, face a window, and have someone take it from about 4 feet away.
No. An Indian passport photo is taller than it is wide (about 1.4 × 1.8 inches). A U.S. passport photo is square, 2 × 2 inches, so don't reuse one for the other.
No. The U.S. Department of State says not to change your photo using computer software, phone apps or filters. We only check your photo and crop it to the official size. We never smooth skin, change the background or alter your face.
No. Your photo is checked and prepared on your own phone or computer. It is never uploaded to our servers.
