when contrast and head size must match GOV.UK rules
UK passport photos fail when contrast is wrong, faces are too small, or backgrounds aren't plain. Passprint standardises crop and background so your team delivers the same result every shift. Passprint automates the entire workflow from upload to print-ready sheet in just a few clicks.

Passprint produces sized and framed digital files and print sheets. Check current HMPO digital submission rules on GOV.UK before uploading to government portals.
