How to make a 25 × 30 mm photo

  1. Check your document's own rules. Open the document in the table below: head height, background and recency differ between countries even when the print size is the same.
  2. Take the photo. Photograph the person against a plain background in even light, facing the camera, with space around the head and shoulders.
  3. Crop to the ratio. Crop the image to 0.83 : 1 (25 × 30 mm), keeping the head height the document asks for.
  4. Print at the right resolution. Print at 25 × 30 mm on photo paper; at 300 dpi the crop needs 295 × 354 pixels.
