Why Applicants Need Passport Photo Sheets

While online forms require individual digital photo files, physical verification stages require physical printed passport photographs. Purchasing individual photos from commercial studios can be expensive.

Creating a passport photo print sheet allows you to tile 6, 8, 12, or 16 passport photos onto a standard 4 × 6 inch photo paper card, allowing you to print multiple copies at a fraction of the cost.
