Passport Photos in Mumbai — What to Know
Mumbai's passport photo landscape is dominated by thousands of small independent photo studios found in virtually every neighbourhood, near railway stations, and especially clustered around the city's three Passport Seva Kendras.
Since September 2025 India uses the standard ICAO 35×45mm format for passports, with a plain white background — the older 2×2 inch (51×51mm) square format is no longer accepted. Indians applying for US visas still need the 2×2 inch (51×51mm) format, and online Passport Seva submissions need a 630×810 pixel JPEG under 250 KB. A free online tool that supports all these formats eliminates confusion about which size you need.
Studios near Passport Seva Kendras (BKC, Thane, Malad) typically charge ₹150-200 per set, while studios further away charge ₹50-100 for the same photos. For digital submissions through the Passport Seva portal, taking your own photo with a smartphone and using an online tool is the most practical option.
Local Tips for Mumbai
- Indian passport photos are 35×45mm (3.5 x 4.5 cm) with a plain white background — the ICAO format mandatory since September 2025. Make sure your photo tool is set to India specifically
- Photo studios near Passport Seva Kendras charge premium prices — studios further away offer the same service for ₹50-100
- For OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card applications, you need 2×2 inch (51×51mm) photos, not the 35×45mm passport format — a common mistake
- Digital photos are increasingly accepted for online passport applications through passportindia.gov.in
