How the head must fit
Head height is measured from the chin to the crown, and it is the single most common reason a photo is refused. The exact range is set per country: open a country page below and measure against the number it publishes.
Printing this size
Lay the photos out at 300 dpi on a standard 4 × 6 in (10 × 15 cm) print and leave a 2 mm gutter for cutting. Print on glossy or matte photo paper; ordinary office paper is refused everywhere.

Can I rescale a photo of another size to this one?
Only by re-cropping from the original full-resolution image; scaling a finished print distorts the head-height ratio and is usually refused.
