India OCI Photos- Digital Image of Photo and Signature Plus Printed 2x2 photos.
OCI photos are different from US passport photos — even though both are 2×2 inch. OCI requires ~80% face coverage (vs. 50–67% for US passport), and the Ministry of Home Affairs specifies a colored background (VFS Global also accepts white). We apply the correct OCI-specific specs.
OCI Application as well as Renewal require submission of digital photo image, and also digital image of signature. You can order both in one order.
