Comparison: Indian Passport
Photo vs USA Passport Picture Vs PAN Card Photos
1. Passport Photo Size: USA
requires Passport photos to be around 2 inch x 2 inch which is around
50mm x 50 mm. On the other hand, Indian consulates in the USA require
passport photos for Indian Passport application/renewal to be of the
size of 35mm vs 35 mm. For PAN Card, however, you will need a 35mmx25mm
photos. Look at the sample below that compares Indian Passport picture
and PAN Card picture to US Passport Picture.
As we know, none of the
USA based stores- CVS Passports, Walgreens Passport Photo center, Walmart
Passport photo center, or Costco Passport Photos- offer passport photo
service for Indian PAN Card photos. On the other hand, we offer this
unique service at the most competitive rates. We offer 8 Indian PAN
Card Photos delivered to your home for just $6.95. If you have an urgent
need, let us know the address of a local Walgreens
