Distance from the camera while taking a passport photo

Mind the distance

Pose 4–6 feet (1–2 meters) from the camera. Use a timer to take your photo or have someone snap it for you.

Face the camera directly

Keep your head straight. Avoid tilting your body or looking away. Remember: portrait mode is not suitable for any ID photos.

Ensure good lighting

Take your photos in daylight e.g., next to a bright window. Shadows on your face or in the background are not allowed.

What are the guidelines for a baby passport photo?

When applying for an Irish passport for your baby, you must submit a photograph that meets specific child passport photo requirements stated by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

Depending on the application mode, you might need the following:

4 identical passport photos if you apply for a baby’s passport using the paper form	2 of them are stamped and signed by a witness on the back of the photograph, who also must write the form number Printed on high-quality photo paper, in size between 35x45 and 38x50 millimetres
1 digital passport photo if you apply for a child’s passport online	In JPEG format In a size of at least 715x951 pixels With a file size of up to 9 MB Not scanned from an already existing printed photograph

And here is a set of common requirements, regardless of the application type. A passport-size photo must:

Be taken in the last 6 months, in colour, top quality, with no shadows or glare
Have a plain background in light grey, cream, or white colour
Show facial features clearly. Head coverings are not allowed except for religious or medical reasons. If the infant needs glasses, this is fine as long as glares or reflections are not present
Have the baby’s full head and shoulder take up 70–80% of the photo frame

The baby should be awake and face forward with a neutral facial expression and eyes open. It’s fine if the baby’s eyes are not looking straight at the camera or the mouth is slightly open. Even a subtle smile would get the green light.

You can consult the official source of information for exact details on infant passport photos in Ireland or learn more about a baby passport application.

Where to get a baby passport photo?

Taking a passport photo in Ireland is possible at pharmacies, professional photo studios, photo labs, or stores such as Photo-Me, but these places may not have the required equipment to take a baby's passport picture.
