How Passprint sources and updates passport photo guides
Our SEO guides explain common sizes, backgrounds, and workflows for studios. They are not government publications. This page describes how we source claims, review pages, and cite official references.

What this policy covers
Country, size, background, ICAO, and how-to pages under Passprint that describe passport or visa photo requirements and recommend a product workflow. Product UI labels and help-center articles follow the same sourcing principles where they discuss compliance.
Government-reference methodology
When a guide states a size, background, or framing rule, we prefer primary sources:
- National passport or visa authority pages (for example IRCC, HMPO / GOV.UK, U.S. State Department, Passport Seva).
- International standards documents such as ICAO Doc 9303 and related biometric image guidance.
- EU / Schengen policy pages for European visa photo context.
Guides that cite requirements include an “Official references” list with outbound links. If a local rule conflicts with a general ICAO baseline, the national authority takes priority for that destination.
Sourcing & writing standards
- Describe measurable facts (dimensions, face-height bands, background colour) separately from product features.
- Do not invent credentials, endorsements, or “guaranteed acceptance” claims.
- When uncertain, link the official source and use cautious wording (“commonly required”, “typically”).
- Distinguish AI-assisted processing in the product from editorial claims about the law.
Review & update policy
Each guide shows a Last reviewed date derived from that page’s content updatedAt timestamp. We refresh a page when we change requirements copy, add destinations, or learn that a cited official page has moved or changed material rules.
Routine product marketing edits do not always change the reviewed date; material compliance or dimension changes do. Readers should still open the linked official sources before submitting an application.
AI-assisted processing disclaimer
Passprint uses AI-assisted processing for background replacement, face framing, and sizing inside the product. Guide pages may describe those steps. AI output is a workflow aid — not a substitute for official instructions or a human check of the final print or digital file.
Privacy details for uploads and model use are in our Privacy Policy. Acceptance liability is covered in our Terms.
