Renewing your Indian passport in the USA? You need two different photo formats: a 630x810 pixel digital copy for the online portal, plus three 2x2 inch prints for the consulate. IDPicly creates both formats with the correct specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What photos do I need for Indian passport renewal in the USA?▼
You need two different formats: (1) One 630x810 pixel digital photo for the online Passport Seva portal, and (2) Three 2x2 inch printed photos for the consulate - one for the affidavit and two for the application. These are different sizes, so you'll need to generate them separately on IDPicly.
Why can't I get both formats in one order?▼
The 630x810 pixel format (53.3 x 68.6 mm) and the 2x2 inch format have different dimensions and aspect ratios. Each photo type needs to be generated separately to ensure correct sizing and face positioning for that specific format.
What size photo does Passport Seva portal require?▼
The online Passport Seva portal requires a 630x810 pixel JPEG image with white background, file size between 10KB-1MB. Per ICAO standards, the face must occupy 80-85% of the photo frame.
How many photos do I need for Indian consulate?▼
You need 3 printed photos (2x2 inch / 51x51mm): One photo for the affidavit (required for all renewals), and two photos attached to your passport application form.
What if my photo is rejected by Passport Seva?▼
Common rejection reasons include wrong dimensions, incorrect background, or face size issues. IDPicly guarantees acceptance - if rejected, we'll fix it free or refund your money.
Do I need new photos even if nothing changed?▼
Yes, for passport renewal you always need one photo for the affidavit regardless of any changes. Plus two photos for the application. Photos must be taken within the last 6 months.
Where can I print my photos?▼
After downloading your print sheet from IDPicly, print at any photo center - Walmart offers the best value at ~$0.15 per 4x6 print. Select 4x6 inch print size with no borders. Each sheet contains 8 photos.
Why is IDPicly better than a pharmacy photo service?▼
Pharmacy photo services typically only give 2 prints (you need 3), charge extra for digital copies, and cannot format to 630x810 pixels. You'd need multiple trips and DIY resizing. IDPicly gives you the exact format needed, done from home in minutes.
