Where the sides land

Centered as one block.

10 mm apart, and never closer than 6.35 mm (1/4 in) to an edge, so a printer's border can't cut a card.

Side by sideOne row

Two ID-1 cards fit across Letter and A4. A wider custom size turns the page or stacks, and the tool says so.

Two other ways.

A copierThe ID Copy button

The card goes on the glass twice and both sides print on one sheet. Steps for HP, Canon, Epson and Brother.

By handTwo photos in a document

Crop each photo to the card and set its width to 8.56 cm (3.37 in), proportions locked. A tilted photo stays tilted.

Before you send it

A copy for one purpose.

Mark it for one use writes who it's for across both sides; Black out a part covers what they don't need. Both go into the pixels.

Two specimen cards: one with a line saying who the copy is for, repeated across it; one with most of a number covered by a black boxSPECIMEN · NOT A REAL IDCOPY FOR LEASE APPLICATION · OCT 2026COPY FOR LEASE APPLICATION · OCT 2026COPY FOR LEASE APPLICATION · OCT 2026SPECIMEN · NOT A REAL ID1234Marked for one useNumber blacked out
The one-use line repeats across the card; a black box hides most of a number.

A passport agency needs to see all of your ID. Ask before you black anything out.
