Not confirmed on the official page yet
We could not reach an official NADRA page that states the photo rules on 21 Oct 2026. 35 x 45 mm is the most commonly reported size.
We could not read an official page for this document, so we are not listing a rule-by-rule summary. Open NADRA or your application instructions and compare them with the size above.
Third-party sites disagree on background colour (blue is commonly reported for CNIC and NICOP, white for passports) and on pixel and KB limits. Check the current rule on the NADRA or passport office page before submitting.
Can this tool prepare a photo for Pakistan?
We could not confirm the current NADRA rules on an official page, and other sites disagree on the background colour and the pixel and KB limits. Use 35 x 45 mm as a starting point and confirm everything on the NADRA or passport office instructions for your application.
