Official Nepali passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationNepal’s Department of Passports says the passport photograph is generally captured at the enrolment centre. Its guidance makes a specific exception for newborns and children under five, who should bring a passport-size picture with a plain white background and no border. Knowing the applicant’s age therefore helps determine whether the immediate task is preparing for capture or supplying a photograph.
The online application and appointment organise the request, but enrolment links the person with the identity information used for the travel document. Nepal provides regular services through district or area administration offices and missions abroad, with urgent service at the Department of Passports in Kathmandu. The relevant centre’s instructions should accompany the application paperwork.
For a young child’s supplied portrait, preserve a recognisable likeness and review photo quality, framing, background and facial expression. Keep the requested prints protected with the supporting identity documents. For an applicant photographed at enrolment, the same visual preparation helps them arrive ready for the official image. Our biometrics guide explains how facial capture fits into the document process, and the detailed checks below cover appearance. Use our embassy and consulate directory to locate a Nepalese mission when applying overseas. The aim is a usable current image of the individual travelling from Nepal, with the correct submission method for their age and application centre.
Photo dimensions must be precise to avoid rejection. The face-to-frame ratio is equally important for proper identification.
Use a plain, distraction-free background. We replace it automatically to meet official criteria.
Proper lighting ensures your photo is clear and natural. Uneven exposure or artificial glare can lead to rejection.
Your face must be fully visible with a neutral expression for easy identification and facial recognition.
Glasses are allowed only if they do not obstruct visibility. Headwear is permitted only for valid medical or religious reasons.
Improper posture can lead to application rejection. Your face and shoulders should be correctly aligned and fully visible.
