Perfect Nepal Passport Photo [Crop & Resize Online]

Nepal passport photo requirements

When applying for a Nepal passport, you’ll be required to provide some photos that will be useful for your authentication while going through the security check. The photo of your Nepal passport should meet the official requirements to be accepted, especially regarding the size and the quality. 

Nepal passport photo size

The requirements for Nepal passport photo size are based on the ICAO guidelines. In this specific case, the size of the passport photo should be equal to 45 mm x 35 mm. You should be careful about this, it shouldn’t be bigger or smaller than the said size, otherwise, your photo might be rejected. 

Background, contrast, and lighting in Nepal passport photo

The Nepal passport photo should also meet some requirements regarding quality. Indeed, the picture has to be colored and clearly printed - no shadow can be visible on the frame and the contrast has to be perfectly adjusted. Clearly, if your picture is too bright or too dark, it might face rejection. 

As for the background, it should be plain, light-colored, and with no borders. 

Nepal passport size photo: posture and facial expression

As for the posture and facial expression of the Nepal passport photo, it is important to have your head centered in the frame. Your face should be straight as well and cover between 70 and 80 % of the frame, not more.

As for your facial expression, your eyes should be wide open and your mouth closed. The point of the picture is to be as neutral as possible to be easily recognizable. 

Nepal passport size photo clothing

There’s no required dress code for your Nepal passport photo. However, you shouldn’t wear something too bright that will blend you in with the background, either something too colorful or with patterns. Wear something neutral and dark to create a contrast with the background. 

Nepal passport size photo - hairstyle, makeup, and beard

Remember that your face should be as visible as possible. In that case, you might want to tie up your hair if they are very long, or just find a suitable way to let them down without obstructing the visibility of your face, from your chin to the top of your eyebrows. 

As for makeup, it’s not forbidden to wear some. However, keep it natural because if you transform yourself too much with it, you might not be recognizable in the borders after… It would be unfortunate to see your dream vacations spoiled because of this, right? 

For the beard, the same rules apply - as long as it doesn’t change your natural face too much, and you usually keep it, you don’t need to get it removed for the picture. 

Accessories in Nepal passport photo

Accessories in your Nepal passport photo aren’t forbidden. However, they should be as discreet as possible, especially in the case of jewelry. If your jewelry is too big or too visible, you’ll have to remove it. 

If you do wear some eyeglasses, you can keep them as long as they aren’t too big and hide your face frame too much. As for sunglasses, there are no exceptions - they are strictly prohibited. 

Usually, head coverings are prohibited as well, except for religious reasons in some cases. 

Can I use a digital photo for my Nepal Passport?

It’s possible to make a digital photo for your Nepal passport. However, the photo needs to be printed to be put on the application form - you can’t directly use your digital picture.
