Baby Passport Photo Setup
Baby passport photos are difficult because the subject moves, looks away, and often needs support. A reliable setup is usually simpler than heavy editing: lay the baby on a plain light sheet, use soft natural light, and take several photos from directly above.
The editor helps with sizing, cropping, background color, and print sheet export. It does not judge whether a baby is facing the camera well enough, whether another person is visible, or whether a hand, toy, dummy, or pacifier blocks the face.
Common Baby Photo Issues
The most common problems are shadows across the face, another person appearing in the photo, hands visible while supporting the baby, a pacifier or toy blocking the face, and a crop that cuts off the head or chin. Retaking the photo is often faster than trying to fix these issues later.
Official rules vary by country, and some requirements are relaxed for babies and young children. Use this page as a formatting workflow, then compare the result with the official guidance for the passport or visa application.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I take a passport photo of a baby?
Lay the baby on a plain light sheet, use even lighting, take the photo from above, and make sure no hands, toys, or other people are visible.
Do babies need their eyes open?
Some official rules are relaxed for infants. For example, UK guidance says children under one do not need their eyes open, while U.S. guidance says it is okay if a baby's eyes are not entirely open.
Can I use a car seat?
Some guidance allows a car seat covered with a plain white or off-white sheet. Make sure the face is visible and there are no shadows.
Can IDPhotoKit remove a visible hand or pacifier?
No. Retake the photo if anything blocks the baby's face or another person appears in the image.
