What is a Passport Template?
A passport template is a premade digital file that resembles a real passport. You can customize it with:

⚡ Templates are a time saver and professionally designed with no design skills necessary.
They are often used for:
- Film & media production
- School projects
- Mockups or portfolio design
- UI/UX testing
- Online KYC demo setups

How to apply Passport Templates to verify online
Real ID verification should reference legal documents, but it is useful to simulate mock passport templates for testing and UI on:
- Financial technology apps (for example, a Payoneer demo)
- HR onboarding portals
- Identity verification demos (KYC / AML tests)
- Property rental sites (fake data)
Do not cause confusion – label mockups properly.

- Double-click text layers
- Use typewriter typefaces (OCR-B, Arial Narrow)
4. Replace the Photo
- Now just drag a high res image into the smart object
- Crop to a passport standard size (35 x 45 mm)
5. Modify Color & Background (and not necessary)
- Match your country’s design aesthetic
6. Export the File
- Export it as PNG or PDF to share with others
- Keep PSD for edits
