Indian passport: VFS chicago: 35mm X 45mm photo

[mmdude 1]

Hello,

 

I live in Chicago and have an India passport that will expire April 2026.

I am getting my passport re-issued through Tatkal services.

When I go to https://mportal.passportindia.gov.in website and completed all details and printed their application form.

On that form I see instructions "Paste your unsigned recent color photo 35 X 45 MM". The space on that form is also 35 x 45mm.

I was not able to find anyone (Walgreens or UPS) who takes photos of this 35 x 45mm size in USA.

 

If I look at Checklist from VFS, it says to paste regular 2inch X 2inch photo on Government application form (this conflicts with instructions from previous website). 

SO I am very confused! 

Anyone had a similar experience recently trying to re-issue new passport?

Anything you could do to guide me would be much appreciated.

Can't help with the conflicting instructions, but for an exact size photo you can just take one on your phone and then use a website or app to get it the right size, and print it at home.
