About this tool

Pakistani passport photos are 35 x 45 mm on a plain white background. DGIP applications made at passport offices usually capture the photo on site, but 35 x 45 mm prints are still asked for on many forms and for applications made through certain offices and missions. NADRA CNIC photos are different: NADRA takes them itself on a light-blue background. This crop is 413 x 531 pixels at 300 DPI, and the 4x6 sheet fits eight prints.

How to use this tool

  1. Use a white backgroundStand against a plain white wall in daylight, facing the camera.
  2. Do not reuse a CNIC photoCrop a fresh white-background photo - a NADRA-style blue background is the wrong style for passport forms.
  3. Print the sheetPrint the 8-photo sheet for forms and applications that need printed photos.

Passport photo vs CNIC photo

The size matches, but the background does not. A white-background passport-style photo is what DGIP and most forms expect; a blue-background CNIC photo is NADRA's own capture. Do not submit one in place of the other. For online forms, check the pixel and KB limits and compress the download if needed.

Passport photo versus CNIC photo in Pakistan

A passport size photo for Pakistani forms is 35 x 45 mm on a plain white background. NADRA does not take printed photos for a CNIC - it captures the photo itself, on a light-blue background - so a CNIC-style photo is not a substitute for a passport photo even though the size looks similar.

For forms, applications at missions abroad and visa applications for other countries, print the 8-photo sheet from a recent photo. Keep the original image so you can make a fresh crop for a 1 x 1 inch form photo if a school or office asks for that smaller size.
