Pakistani passport photo from the UK
Pakistani passport photos are usually 35 × 45 mm, in colour, on a plain white background, with a neutral expression and both eyes open. Check the requirements with the embassy, consulate or Directorate General of Immigration & Passports before you print.
Your photo never leaves your phone
- Stand about 1.5 m in front of a plain, light wall.
- Face a window or a bright light so both sides of your face are lit.
- Ask someone to take it with the phone at your eye level. Selfies are often rejected.
- Glasses off, hair away from your eyes, mouth closed, no smile.
Ready offline. Turn on airplane mode and it still works, which shows your photo isn't uploaded.
Line up your head and shoulders with the outline. Keep the phone at eye level, about 1.5 m away.

Questions
Is this the same as a NICOP or CNIC photo?
Not necessarily. Sources disagree on the background colour NADRA uses for NICOP and CNIC, so SkipTheBooth only covers the passport photo for now. Check NADRA's own guidance for identity cards.
