Quality of the Photo

The photos must be clear, sharp, and in focus. Your photo should be taken within 6 months, so it will reflect your current appearance. It is highly recommended that you take the photo within the month prior to submitting your application. This is because your photo must be a true representation of how you looked at that moment in time.

Face and Face Expression

You have to pose facing forward and looking directly at the camera, and your head must be in the center of the frame. You must have a neutral facial expression so you cannot smile or frown, as pictures with a smile, even a small one, is rejected. Your face must be straight, so don't tilt your head to either side and do not raise or lower your head at all.

Glasses and Headwear

You may wear your prescription glasses in your photo, as long as the frames do not cover your eyes in any way, additionally, you must ensure that the glass does not cause any glare and that the frames do not cast any shadows on your face. Your eyes must be visible at all times for biometric purposes, because of this sunglasses and glasses with tinted lenses are strictly forbidden.

When it comes to headwear you are not allowed to wear it except for special circumstances. If you are wearing any kind of headwear for religious purposes you are allowed to keep it on in your photo, as long as you provide a signed certificate from a leader in your religious community. If your religious headwear covers your face in any way you must pull it back so that the entire oval of your face can be seen.

Clothing and Hair

There is no such thing as a dress code, so you are free to wear whatever takes your fancy. However, we do have some advice regarding your clothing choices. If you have casual clothes that you feel good and look nice in, then you have the perfect outfit already. However, when it comes to the color of your clothing we advise you to wear brighter colors, rather than anything white or black, as white will blend with the background and black provides a bad contrast.

You should avoid tight clothes that will make you feel and look uncomfortable and anything crazy is better left in the wardrobe. You should most definitely avoid fluorescent colors as they won’t photograph well for a document photo. Now there is one type of outfit you definitely cannot wear and that is a uniform of any kind, be it military or otherwise. If you dress as though you are going to your Grandmother’s for a lovely Sunday roast then you will be fine.

Jewelry

No matter how beautiful your jewelry is, it's best to take it off for your picture, especially if it is of a large size. Shiny necklaces can give off glare and reflections, and large earrings can cover your cheeks or cast shadows on your face, all of this can lead to your photo not being accepted. In the photo, you may have, however, small earrings and a fine chain.

Photo Background

The photo for India Pan Card Online must be taken with a solid and light background. The background may be cream, light grey, or white. You can get such a background by posing with a white wall behind your back. You can also arrange a background for your photo with the help of a sheet. Remember that our photo editor will remove the background so that the final version of the photo is completely white. This is a big help as when using our tool, you don't have to worry about the background at all.
