How to Print a Passport Photo at the Required Size and Quality

Before printing, check whether your application accepts physical photos and review the exact requirements for the selected country and document.

• Use the Supplied File: Print the prepared file without resizing, stretching, or adding automatic cropping.
• Check the Final Size: Confirm the required width, height, and unit on the document-specific page or with the issuing authority.
• Choose Accepted Paper: Use the paper type and finish required for the application.
• Use High-Quality Settings: Print at sufficient resolution and disable corrections that change colour, contrast, or proportions.
• Make a Test Print: Measure the result before using expensive photo paper.
• Cut Only If Required: Follow the cut lines and keep the edges clean and straight without trimming into the photo.

A local print shop can help if your printer cannot preserve the supplied dimensions. Tell the shop not to use “fit to page” or automatic enlargement.
