This guide covers every printing option, from your home printer to drugstore kiosks, with practical tips to ensure your printed photo meets official requirements.</p> <h2 id="paper-quality-requirements">Paper Quality Requirements</h2> <p>Before choosing a printing method, understand what authorities expect:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Requirement</th> <th>Specification</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Paper type</strong></td> <td>Photo paper (glossy or matte)</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Weight</strong></td> <td>At least 180 g/m²</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Surface</strong></td> <td>Smooth, no texture or watermarks</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Color accuracy</strong></td> <td>Natural skin tones, no color cast</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Resolution</strong></td> <td>At least 600 DPI print resolution</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Finish</strong></td> <td>No scratches, fingerprints, or smudges</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Regular printer paper (80 g/m²) will be <strong>rejected</strong> at any passport office. This is the most common mistake people make when printing at home.</p>
