Print Your UK Passport Photo
Paper passport applications need two identical printed 35×45 mm photos on professional-quality paper. You can print at home or upload our layout to a shop kiosk.
Print methods
Choose based on your equipment and deadline:
- Home photo printer on glossy or matte photo paper
- High-street kiosk — upload a file from our 4×6 layout tool
- In-store passport service — staff print two copies for you
Using a print layout
After cropping to UK 35×45 in our tool, choose a print sheet layout on the preview step. Upload the file through Tesco, Boots, or Snappy Snaps apps—or print at actual size (100%) at home.
- Select UK 35×45 template before cropping
- Pick a multi-photo sheet layout when available
- Do not resize in the print dialog—use 100% scale
Paper application rules
Print two identical copies. Photos must be unmarked on both sides unless a countersignatory signs the back of one photo. Use photos taken within the last month for paper forms.
