What is a Pakistan Passport (DGIP) photo?
A Pakistani passport photo is 35×45 mm with the face (head and top of shoulders) filling 70–80% of the frame, on a plain white background. Glasses are banned entirely; head coverings are permitted only with the face fully visible from chin to forehead and both edges of the face showing.
The DGIP online portal accepts renewals with photo uploads up to 5 MB, while first-time applications run through NADRA/DGIP offices with printed photos and live biometric capture. Pakistan is among the strictest countries on eyewear: even clear glasses fail.

Frequently asked questions
Are glasses allowed in Pakistani passport photos?
No. Glasses are banned entirely, as are sunglasses and hats. This is stricter than most countries; take them off for the photo.
What are the DGIP requirements?
35×45 mm geometry with face 70–80% of the frame, eyes open and clearly visible, head not tilted, both edges of the face visible, plain white background, professionally printed quality (no crops from casual photos), recent.
Can I renew my Pakistani passport online?
Yes. The DGIP online portal handles renewals for eligible applicants, including photo upload (JPEG up to 5 MB). First-time applications go through NADRA/DGIP offices in person, where the printed photos and live capture both apply.
What are the head-covering rules?
Permitted, provided the face is fully visible from chin to forehead and both face edges show. Anything casting shadows across the face fails the check.
How we handle compliance
- We check your photo against the official rules. We never retouch your face, and we only normalize the background where the destination country permits it.
- Every requirement is cited from official government sources, with the verification date shown on the page.
- What you get is a report of measurements, not a guarantee. Final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.
