Place baby on a white sheet or blanket. This creates the perfect background for passport photos.

Common Baby Photo Mistakes

Parent Visible in Photo

If holding baby, make sure no hands, arms, or shadows are visible. Use a white sheet behind baby.

Toys or Pacifiers

No objects should be visible in the photo. Remove pacifiers, bibs, and toys before taking the picture.

Shadows on Face

Shadows can cause rejection. Use soft, even lighting. Natural daylight near a window works best.

Busy Background

Background must be plain white or light grey. Patterns, textures, and colored backgrounds are rejected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do babies need passport photos?

Yes! All babies need their own passport from birth. Even newborns just days old require passport photos that meet official requirements. There's no minimum age.

Can baby's eyes be closed in the photo?

For newborns under 6 months, most countries (including the US and UK) accept photos with closed eyes. However, for babies over 6 months, eyes should be open. Check specific country requirements.

How do I get a white background?

Lay your baby on a plain white sheet or blanket. Photograph from directly above. Use natural light to avoid shadows. Our tool can also help adjust and enhance the background.

Can someone hold the baby in the photo?

Yes, but no part of the person should be visible. You can support baby's head from behind, but cover your hand with a white cloth. The final photo should show only the baby against a plain background.

How long is a baby passport photo valid?

The photo should be taken within 6 months of the application. However, baby passports typically need renewal every 5 years, and many parents renew more frequently as baby's appearance changes significantly.
