Common Passport Photo Mistakes to Avoid
Asking the retail clerk for a "Passport Photo"
Issue: If you ask the clerk to print a "passport photo", they will route you to the $16.99 passport counter service.
Solution: Upload our 4x6 template to their website/app as an ordinary "4x6 Photo Print" (costing under $0.50).
Selecting "Fit to Page" during printing
Issue: Enabling "Fit to Page" shrinks or stretches the image, changing the 2x2" or 35x45mm dimensions.
Solution: Always set your print scaling to "100%" or "Actual Size (Borderless)".
Printing on regular 20 lb copier paper
Issue: Thin copy paper absorbs ink, causing smudging and instant consular rejection.
Solution: Always use heavyweight glossy or satin photographic paper.
Rough, ragged edges from dull scissors
Issue: Jagged edges look unprofessional and can catch in lamination machines.
Solution: Use sharp scissors or a paper trimmer along our guided cutting crosshairs.
