Passport Photos for babies FAQ
Where can I get
Passport Photos for babies?
This used to be a big challenge for most parents (It is still for
most parents unless you happen to be reading this page.) Most parents
have come across this problem while getting passport photos for their
new-born baby. Infants have different schedule to take a nap and they
can fall sleep any time. With infants and very young babies, it is hard
for them to keep their head straight while being photographed. This
creates another problem of having white background on the photos which
is one of the primary requirements for US Passport Photos.

FAQ
Does a baby need
a passport?
Every U.S. citizen - including infants - needs a valid passport to enter
and leave most foreign countries. The passport in the USA is issued
by U.S. Department of State and for babies, it must be applied in person.
(FYI: Passports can only be renewed by Mail. As for babies, this is
their first passport so needs to be appied in person.)
Do I need to take
my baby when applying for a US Passport?
Yes. You
will need to take your baby when you are applying for a passport for
her.
Do both parents
need to be present at the time of applying a passport for a baby?
If your
child has two parents or legal guardians, both must be present to sign
the passport application. If both can't be present, you'll need a notarized
Statement of Consent signed by the absent parent or guardian. If you're
the sole parent - the other one is deceased or you have sole legal authority
over your child - you'll need to provide evidence of that. If you can't
prove you're the sole parent or for any reason can't get your child's
other parent to sign the Statement of Consent, you'll have to explain
why in the Special Circumstances box on the statement.
Where do I get
Passport Application form for babies?
An application
form for Passport is available at most of the Post Offices. You can
also download the application form. You can fill up the form but make
sure you don't sign it beforehand. The form needs to be signed in presence
of Passport officer.
