Baby Passport Photo Guidelines

• The baby should look straight at the camera. Both ears should be visible.
• The baby should have a neutral expression.
• The baby should close mouth, not smilling.
• Both eyes should be open and clearly visible.
• The background should be white or off-white, or of constant light colors such as cream, light blue or white.
• Photo should be taken in bright room. There should be no shadows across or behind the face.
• There should be no other objects on baby's face or background, such as toys, parent's hands, hat, baby's hand over face, blanket on face.

Tips on how to take the perfect baby passport photo

1. Lay white or light color baby quilt or blanket in a bright room or other places with good lighting.
2. Lay the baby on the quilt or blanket. Stretch the quilt or blanket to get constant plain background.
3. Ensure baby is looking straight at the camera with eyes open, mouth closed and not smiling, and both ears visible. You can hold a toy (especially toy with sound) near the camera to draw the baby's attention to look straight and both eyes open.
4. DO NOT use flash light. Flash light will cause shadow behind the head.
