Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have a colored wall in my passport photo?
No. Passports require plain white, off-white, or light grey backgrounds depending on the country. Patterns, furniture, wallpaper, or colored walls will result in rejection.
Which background color should I choose?
For the United States, India, and Canada, choose pure white or off-white. For the UK, Germany, and Schengen visas, choose light grey. For France, choose light grey or light blue (pure white is prohibited in France).
