Jaweed Studio · Passport Photos in Ghent

Looking for somewhere else to have an official photo taken? Find the right passport photo service for your application and learn how to prepare for your visit to Jaweed Studio.

By appointment only · Charles de Kerchovelaan 193

You are searching for ‘Pictro Ghent Zuid’ because you need a passport photo, but you also want to know where else you can go. Perhaps you have an appointment at the local council, need to upload a digital photo for a visa, or are looking for a photographer for your baby.

The most useful next step is not simply finding an address. First, establish which document the photo is for, whether you need to supply your own photo, and which requirements apply. This guide explains how to do that and explores the options available at Jaweed Studio in Ghent.

A quick guide to choosing the right service

• Check whether the council or relevant authority takes your photo or asks you to bring one.

• Choose the service for an adult or for a baby or child.

• Bring the official photo requirements for documents issued by other countries.

• Book before visiting; all passport photo services are by appointment only.

• Let us know about any deadlines or special file requirements in advance.

Looking for Pictro Ghent Zuid or another passport photo location?

When you look up a familiar business, you expect to find out straight away whether you can visit. However, a search result or business directory listing does not always provide reliable information about current opening hours, services or availability.

Check the business’s own information before setting off. A search engine listing alone does not prove that a location is currently open. Equally, missing information is not proof of permanent closure.

Would you like another option for passport photos in Ghent? You can book a suitable appointment at Jaweed Studio in advance. This article helps you choose the right service; it is not a live status page for Pictro.

Start with your document. A visa, Kids-ID or passport may each have different requirements. Explaining exactly what you need helps prevent you from leaving with the wrong photo or file.

Do you need to provide your own passport photo?

An appointment for an identity document does not automatically mean you need to have a printed passport photo taken beforehand. First, check the instructions in your appointment confirmation or on the relevant authority’s website.

Identity cards and Kids-ID in Ghent

The City of Ghent states that identity card photos are taken at the counter. For a Kids-ID, you must bring a photo if your child is under three, or if an older child cannot sit still independently. Always check the page for the document you are applying for.

Official information: applying for an identity card and applying for a Kids-ID with the City of Ghent.

Another authority or a document issued by another country

For a foreign passport, visa or other official application, you may need a separate print or digital file. The instructions provided by the embassy, consulate or application portal take precedence.

Save those instructions on your phone or bring a printed copy. Tell us not only the country, but also the type of document and how you need to submit the photo.

Passport photos at Jaweed Studio: adults, babies and children

Preparing for a baby’s photo is different from preparing for an adult’s. That is why Jaweed Studio has separate service pages with practical information for each age group. Start with the relevant page so you know what to tell us beforehand.

For adults

Passport, eID and visa

For official applications that require you to provide a recent printed photo or digital file.

For babies and children

Kids-ID and children’s passports

An approach that allows time and guidance suited to your child’s age and comfort.

Specifically looking for a baby passport photo in Ghent? Tell us your child’s age when booking. For adults, you will find preparation advice on the adult passport photo page.

You can find an overview of both services on the passport photos and document services in Ghent page.

Visa photos and digital passport photos: check the details

A photo for a Belgian document is not automatically suitable for an application to the United States, India, Canada or the United Kingdom. Even within one country, requirements can differ for passport, visa and residence applications.

Print size is not the same as digital format

For a print, factors include the physical dimensions and crop. For a digital file, the authority may also specify pixel dimensions, a particular file type and a maximum file size.

Let us know what you will use the file for. Simply asking for ‘a digital passport photo’ does not provide all the information needed to prepare a file for a specific portal.

Keep the original file provided

A screenshot or a forwarded, resized version may differ from the original file. Use the version supplied for your application and do not alter your face with filters or AI editing.

Bring the official instructions

Where possible, use information from the authority receiving your application, rather than a random example found through a search engine. A link or clear screenshot of the requirements helps us discuss your application accurately.

What can you prepare before your appointment?

Wear simple clothing

Choose clothes you feel comfortable in that provide enough contrast against a light background. Simple colours keep the focus on your face. A high collar or prominent accessory must not cover an important part of your face.

Discuss glasses or head coverings

Follow the requirements for your document. Some applications require you to remove your glasses; others have specific rules about reflections and keeping your eyes visible. Mention any relevant considerations beforehand so the photographer can take them into account.

Keep your appearance recognisable

An official photo is intended for identification. Natural grooming is fine, but a photo with heavily altered facial features is not a suitable basis for an official application.

Allow an unhurried appointment for your child

Keep your baby’s or toddler’s usual routine in mind. Bring your normal changing and care essentials, and allow time for a break. Children cannot be expected to cooperate on command; a relaxed schedule makes the appointment more comfortable.

Your quick checklist: choose the right service, have the document requirements ready, book a time and tell us about any deadline. This helps us get your appointment off to a focused start.

Always book in advance

All passport photo services are available by appointment only. Published opening hours do not mean you can drop in without a booking. Check available times in the booking calendar, or get in touch if you have a special request.

How quickly will you receive your photos?

For a standard adult passport photo, the service page lists a typical appointment time of around ten minutes. This is not a guarantee for every application. A baby, a non-standard format or multiple documents may require more time.

The passport photo service includes eight printed photos and a digital file. Check the current service information and discuss any non-standard requirements in advance.

Need a photo today?

First, check whether a suitable appointment is available. If you have an appointment with an authority afterwards, tell us about that deadline and allow enough time between the two visits. Only set off once your appointment has been confirmed.

If you have any questions, contact us via WhatsApp or call +32 468 24 11 26.
