passport size photos?

Question

what is the size of a passport size photo?Also can some one help me the right type of paper and its type and size to print 16 passport size photos on one side?

Answer 1

Passport photos require a lot of regulations to be followed.

First is the size of the photograph. Passport photos are 2" x 2" in size taken within the past 6 months.

The image size from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head should be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches.

The photographs may be in color or black and white.

They must be full face, front view with a plain white or off-white background.

Photographs should be taken in normal street attire, without a hat or headgear that obscures the hair or hairline.

Uniforms should not be worn in photographs with the exception of religious attire which is worn daily.

If prescription glasses, a hearing device, wig or similar articles are normally and consistently worn, they should be worn when the picture is taken.

Dark glasses or nonprescription glasses with tinted lenses are not acceptable unless required for medical reasons. A medical certificate may be required to support the wearing of such glasses in the photographs.

Unless you have your own photography studio, this is not something you can do in your own home as a personal project.
