Photos for OCI

Hello, is US passport photo size ok for OCI... It's difficult to get pictures according to their requirements with no white background... any suggestions?
Thank you.

What we did is, we went to Costco and we took my wife's dupata of light green color (chunni) put it on that white board, took pictures. It is accepted our OCI is approved and dispatched at Delhi Jan 16th to Washington DC. Do like that, size also accepted. Dont worry.

Here is another alternative.

I clicked photographs on my digital camera with a light blue background (poster board from walamrt or other store )
& used the website http://www.epassportphoto.com for our photographs for editing/cropping

Took the saved jpeg image form the above site to CVS which costs < 1$.

Thanks kash_k5! Do you remember the color of the poster board... I went to Staples and there were several colors. I found blue but that wasn't a very light color as required. Would appreciate any info that you could give me. Thanks!

I sent pictures with a white background and had no problems(neither did my wife and kids)

Immiportaluser,

Well I used hobbylobby store to get the blue color background poster board.

I took http://ociindia.nic.in/ociindia/ICAO-Photo.pdf as a reference for a
blue color background.

You can also try Michaels or a Teacher's store or a craft store.

Good luck.
