How to make a 35 × 45 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 0.78 : 1 (35 × 45 mm), keeping the head height the document asks for.
4. Print at the right resolution. Print at 35 × 45 mm on photo paper; at 300 dpi the crop needs 413 × 531 pixels.
