Frequently Asked Questions
What size is an Indian PCC photo - 35×45mm or 51×51mm (2×2 inch)?
It depends on where you are submitting the PCC. For applying at a Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) in India, the photo is 35×45mm with a plain white background, identical to the Indian passport photo. For PCC submitted as part of a US, UK, Canada, or Australia visa application via VFS Global, the photo is 51×51mm (2×2 inch), matching the destination country format. VFS Global officially lists 2×2 inch on its India PCC pages.
I am applying for a US visa from India - which PCC photo size?
For VFS Global India accepting your US visa application package, use 51×51mm (2×2 inch) photos. This matches the US Department of State photo standard. If your supporting PCC certificate from PSK uses a 35×45mm photo, that is fine - it is the certificate itself, not the visa application photo.
Why do different sources say different sizes?
Two different applications use the PCC and each has its own photo standard. Indian government PSK uses ICAO 35×45mm. Foreign embassies receiving the certificate via their visa application typically want 51×51mm because their entire application package follows their own country format. Both sizes are correct in different contexts.
Can I use my Indian passport photo for the PSK PCC application?
Yes. PSK uses the same 35×45mm photo specification for both passport applications and PCC applications.
Is my photo uploaded to your servers?
