Passport Photos for Children & Infants
Every U.S. citizen — including newborns — needs their own passport to travel internationally. Taking passport photos of babies and young children is notoriously tricky, but our team has experience getting compliant photos of even the most uncooperative little travelers. Tips for infant photos:
- Lay your baby on a white sheet for the photo — this creates the required white background
- Keep your hands out of the frame
- Baby's eyes need to be open — we'll work with you to get the right moment
- Bring a few changes of clothing in case of unexpected messes
We're patient, we're practiced, and we'll get the shot — usually in just a few tries.
Tips for a Great Passport Photo
A few simple tips make a big difference in how your passport photo turns out:
- Wear everyday clothing — avoid uniforms, camouflage, or all-white tops (which blend into the background)
- Remove glasses — they're not permitted in U.S. passport photos
- Keep hair away from your face if possible
- Neutral expression — a slight, natural look is fine; a big smile is not
- No headphones, earbuds, or wireless devices
- Head coverings only permitted for religious reasons with a signed statement
