Core Requirements (Same as Standard)

Photo must be recent and in color with a plain white or off-white background.
Face should be centered and visible, with no heavy shadows or blur.
Photo should match passport dimensions and framing requirements.
No filters, strong retouching, or edits that alter appearance.

Infant-Specific Notes

Infants can have less strict eye-open expectations than older children.
No parent, hand, toy, pacifier, or other object should be visible in frame.
Lay the baby on a plain white sheet or use a covered infant seat for clean background.
Avoid expression or posture issues by taking multiple shots and selecting the clearest one.

Common Baby Photo Rejection Reasons

Most rejected baby photos are caused by visible support objects, unclear framing, or weak lighting.

Supporting hands or objects are visible in the final image.
Background is patterned, dark, or uneven instead of plain and light.
Face is partially blocked by clothing, shadows, or motion blur.
Framing is too tight or too loose around the head and shoulders.
Image quality is low because the photo was taken in dim lighting.

We handle crop, background cleanup, and framing adjustments so your final output is ready for passport submission.
