Passport Photos for Babies, Infants and Children
The same size and head-height standard applies to minors — there is no age exemption.
Same size, same framing
The 51 × 51 mm frame and 50–69% head coverage apply to newborns and children exactly as they do to adults.
Child alone in the frame
No supporting hands, arms, car seat, toy or dummy may be visible. Support the child from behind a plain sheet.
Eyes open where possible
Most authorities relax the open-eyes rule for newborns but not for older children. See the eyes requirements.
No shadow behind the head
Lay the child on a plain sheet in soft indirect daylight and shoot from directly above. See the shadow rules.
Printing Your Passport Photo
Print settings matter as much as the crop — plain paper is refused everywhere.
| Print resolution | 300 DPI minimum — export at 602 × 602 pixels |
|---|---|
| Paper | Glossy or matte photo paper. Plain copier paper is refused |
| Sheet layout | Use the Print Sheet (PDF) export to fit multiple copies on one 4 × 6 inch sheet |
| Cutting | Guillotine or steel rule for square edges. Do not cut inside the printed border |
| Colour | sRGB. Disable printer auto-enhance and colour correction |
| Handling | Let ink dry fully. Do not staple or fold the photo |
Printer settings and cutting technique are covered in the print passport photo at home guide, and sheet layout in the print 2x2 on 4x6 guide.
