How should I print the photo to ensure correct size?

We provide a ready-to-print 4×6 inch layout with the correct photo size. You can print it at home or at a store using standard photo paper. ⚠️ Be sure to select "Actual Size" or "100% scale" when printing. Do NOT use "Fit to Page" or "Scale to Fit", as this may distort the size.

Can I wear glasses in the photo?

It depends on the document and country. Many passport rules require glasses to be removed, but some ID types may allow them if eyes are fully visible.

How do I cut the printed photo to the correct size?

You can use scissors to carefully cut along the edges of the photo in the printed layout. We place the photo on standard 4×6 inch paper with correct dimensions, so you just need to follow the outlines. For best results, use a ruler or paper cutter for clean edges.

How do I take a passport photo of a baby or young child?

To take a passport photo of a baby or young child, lay them on a plain white sheet or blanket in a well-lit area.
