Nepal passport photo size & rules
A Nepal passport photo is prepared for the Department of Passports under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), which issues machine-readable and electronic passports to Nepali citizens. The standard size is 35mm wide by 45mm high, taken as a recent, front-facing colour photograph. The applicant should look straight into the camera with the head centred, and the face should fill much of the frame, with the chin-to-crown measurement usually between 32mm and 36mm so the features are clear and easy to verify.
Because Nepali passports are heavily used for overseas employment, education, and travel across the region and beyond, submitted photos must satisfy clear international standards. The background should be plain white and evenly lit, with no shadows behind or beside the head. Applicants must hold a neutral expression with the mouth closed and both eyes open, keeping hair away from the eyes. Tinted or reflective glasses should be avoided, and head coverings are permitted only when worn for religious reasons and only if the entire face remains clearly visible.
Pixohub builds your Nepal passport photo completely inside your browser without any upload, so your image stays private on your own device and is never sent to a server, and the service is free. Since official requirements can be updated, always verify the current specifications with the Department of Passports (MOFA) before printing your photo or submitting it with a passport application.
