UK Passport Photo Guidelines for Children under the age of 5

Because of the difficulties in photographing children under the age of 5 for UK passport photos the regulations are slightly more relaxed as per the guidelines below.

Below is an outline of UK Visa Photo Requirements.

• The photo must be clear and show a true likeness of the child
• A neutral expression is not required for a UK baby passport photo
• Reflections and glare on spectacle are acceptable
• The head of the child can be at an angle
• Children are not required to look straight into the camera
• No supporting hands
• Babies under one year old do not need their eyes open

We normally advise parents to place supporting hands underneath the babies clothing which normally produces acceptable UK baby passport photos

The passport photos regulations for children over six are the same for adults with the exception that the head size can be between 21mm and 34mm.
