Baby & Children - Passport and Visa Photos

Passport photo regulations for babies and children (children under the age of five) are usually less strict than for adults (depending upon the country). The guidelines below represent the UK passport regulations for baby and child photos, and represent a common international standard. If the regulations for your country are different we will, of course, adhere to your own nation's requirements. We are familiar with all of the passport photo regulations around the world.

• A neutral expression is not essential.
• The baby's head need not be completely straight.
• Young children are not required to look directly at the camera.

You can come to our studio without an appointment or, if you prefer, you can book an appointment by calling or by using the booking form below.
If you cannot attend our studio, you can upload your own photographs using the form further down this page, and we will convert them to the required standard.

Children's passport photos cost the same as adults.

Baby Passport Photo Requirements

You don't need to worry about these specifications. If you're coming to our studio, we take care of all of these requirements. If you are uploading your images, we will ensure that they conform to the regulations. You only need to follow the simple rules below:

• When shooting the photo yourself, choose a background that is plain and light such as a sheet we will convert it to the necessary colour and tone.
• The baby should be facing the camera (as in the samples on the left).
• Regulations vary from country to country. For Britain, babies can have their eyes closed if they are under one year old; other countries are not so lenient, so you are best to capture a photo with the baby's eyes open if you are unsure.
• Your camera flash should be enabled to give a proper exposure.
• You should use a camera rather than a telephone.

When uploading your photos, it's best to send us a few different images so that we can choose the most suitable.
