Baby Passport Photo
Summary: Baby must be on their own in the picture. Toys and dummies are not allowed. Remember children under 6 don’t have to be looking directly at the camera or have a neutral expression.
Taking your baby for passport photos can at best be called an adventure and at worst a nightmare.
The main reason for this is that the HM Passport Offices stipulates what is required for passport photos, however the gap between what is required and what is possible may be likened to crossing the Sahara desert with single cup to water.
