PAN Print File: Keep the QR, Photo and Signature Clear

Use the current issuer document without rebuilding security artwork or changing record details.
Inspect more than the large name text
A PAN image may have a readable name while its photograph, signature and code are too small or blurred. Open the original at an appropriate viewing size and compare the printed PAN and date details. Preserve every element present in the source; layouts can differ between document versions.
Keep the complete code and both sides
Do not crop the code or its clear space, replace it with a generic QR or cover it with a watermark intended for the print. Include the reverse when it contains information you want reproduced. GiftKida does not add issuer security features or certify a private copy by printing a code.
Resolve record errors first
If a name, photograph or other official detail needs changing, use the appropriate official PAN service and obtain the current document. Keep earlier files out of the upload set. A private PVC print can be easier to carry but is different from a physical PAN card reissued through an authorised issuer channel. Confirm what proof the receiving organisation requires.
