Official Department of Passports requirements
Passports in Nepal are issued by the Department of Passports under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which must comply with the prevailing ICAO standards. The photo is 35 × 45 mm in color on a plain white background that is completely uniform — any gradient, shadow or pattern is grounds for rejection.
The head, measured from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin, is about 32.5 mm, and the head must face the camera directly, centered in the frame. The expression is neutral with the mouth closed and eyes open, formal clothing is expected, and glasses are not permitted. The photo must be recent, taken within the last six months.

Getting the digital size right
For a printed 35 × 45 mm Nepali passport photo, export at 413 × 531 pixels and 300 DPI so skin tones and hair color reproduce accurately. Make sure the white background is perfectly even, as Nepal rejects any gradient or shadow.
Our tool crops to the Nepali ratio and locks a uniform white background right in the browser. Nothing is uploaded — your photo never leaves your device — which keeps your identity image private throughout.
