Reviews

We were planning a family trip and found out our newborn baby needs a passport for travelling abroad. The photos were what we’re stressed about mostly. Anyone who has an infant knows how hard it is to take a photo of them. Luckily, our mate suggested making the baby passport photo at home. He felt relaxed and didn’t cry at all! We quickly took photos of our son and then uploaded them to PhotoMachine. It helped us correct the size and aspect ratio to meet the official guidelines.

Not gonna lie, I hate any kind of applications. So I wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. My sister sent me the link to this app, so I gave it a try. First, my wife photographed our boy. Then, I processed a baby passport photo online with PhotoMachine and ordered printing. as easy as that

I used Photomachine to make passport photos for my baby girl. Didn’t even leave my room - no more stress, no more queues👏

I’ve already made photos for my other documents on this website, and I had no second thoughts when it came to photos for my kids. It took me minutes, just like always.

I’ve used this tool once when applying for renewal. And it worked out well. Now my teenage grandson is getting his first passport and he’s generated his picture with PhotoMachine as well. It’s met all the specs. Besides, is there a better way to make ID photos than taking them in the comfort of your own home? Definitely not.

My daughter was nervous about getting her first passport and asked for a little help. She sent me a few shots, and I resized them according to the rules with PhotoMachine. The image was accepted, and my daughter is happy with how she looks in her official photo. This easy tool saved us lots of time and money.

My spouse and I needed to apply for our children’s passports. I converted old pictures into passport-size photos as we didn’t have any time to commute to local studios. We didn’t want our application to get rejected, so we used a dedicated checker and editor - PhotoMachine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to take a baby passport photo at home?

Prepare your baby for the photoshoot. Make sure he or she wears acceptable clothing. If you’re taking photos of a toddler, you can simply lay a white blanket or sheet of paper on the floor and put your baby on it. Then take a bunch of photos to have more options to choose from. If you need to photograph an older child, you can ask them to sit in front of a light-coloured wall. Once your shots are taken, you can process them with PhotoMachine.

Who can sign a passport photo for a child?

The child’s passport photo should have a signature by someone who has known the parent for at least 2 years and meets certain rules. For instance, they need to be living in the UK and have a current British or Irish passport. The picture cannot be signed by someone related by birth or living at the same address.

Can babies smile in passport photos?

In the UK passport photos, children must have a neutral expression. But the rules are more flexible for babies - smiling is okay, but they should not laugh or cry.

Do babies' eyes need to be open for passport photos?

According to the rules, your child can keep the eyes closed if he or she is under one. But they still must not be asleep. And if your child is younger than 6 years old, they do not have to be looking directly at the camera.

Can children wear glasses in passport photos?

Glasses are allowed only for medical reasons. If glasses are required, you need to make sure there’s no reflection, glare, or frames obscuring their eyes.

What should a baby wear for a passport photo?

A baby should wear something casual and neat. It’s recommended to choose a contrasting colour so the clothes do not blend in with the background. Also, a baby cannot wear headwear like a cap or a headband.

Can a baby's head be tilted in a passport photo?

The child’s head should not be tilted to the side while taking headshots for documents.

Can a baby have their mouth open in a passport photo?

Yes, a baby can have their mouth open in their biometric photos. But the criteria are different depending on the age of the child, so it’s better to see regulations and examples on the official website.
