Key aspects include: photo dimensions and file size requirements, signature scanning and upload guidelines, background and appearance specifications, common mistakes to avoid.

This guide covers the most commonly searched questions about Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025) photo requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I add name and date to Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025) photo?

A: For Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025), check the official notification to confirm if name/date is required. If you're unsure, the Name & Date Stamp Tool lets you add text that can be removed later. As a general rule, only add name and date if the notification explicitly requires it. Many exam portals do not require this and clean photos are preferred.

Q: How to use the Name & Date Stamp Tool for Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025)?

A: Using the Name & Date Stamp Tool for Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025) is simple: (1) Upload your photo; (2) Enter your full name as it appears in the application form; (3) Enter the date the photo was taken (format: DD-MM-YYYY); (4) Choose text position (bottom-left or bottom-center recommended); (5) Select font size that's legible but not overpowering; (6) Preview and download. The tool ensures the text is placed correctly without covering your face.

Q: What date format to use for Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025) name/date stamp?

A: Use DD-MM-YYYY format (e.g., 14-05-2026) for the date on your Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025) photo. The date must be the day the photo was taken, which should be within the allowed recency period (typically 3-6 months of application). The Name & Date Stamp Tool automatically formats the date correctly. Never use US format (MM-DD-YYYY) as it can cause confusion during document verification.

Q: Does Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025) accept digitally added name/date or only handwritten?

A: For online applications, digitally adding name and date using the Name & Date Stamp Tool is generally acceptable for most exams. The tool adds clean, legible text that mimics the appearance of handwriting. However, for exams like UPSC that specifically mention handwriting, try to use a font that looks natural. The tool offers multiple font options including handwriting-style fonts. For physical applications, handwritten is required.

Q: Where should the name and date be placed on Indian Passport (OLD format - pre Sep 2025) photo?

A: The name and date should be placed at the BOTTOM of the photograph. The Name & Date Stamp Tool automatically positions text at the bottom edge so it doesn't interfere with your face. The text should occupy no more than 5-10% of the photo height. For exams like DSSSB that use a larger postcard-size photo, the tool adjusts the text size proportionally.
