Baby Passport Photo in Ghent: Perfect Quality and Service at Jaweed Studio

Need an official passport photo of your baby for a Kids-ID, passport, residence card, or visa? We take our time, follow your little one's pace, and ensure a correct photo that meets the document's requirements.

A baby passport photo requires a bit more patience

Babies move, don't always look straight at the camera, and sometimes can't hold their head still on their own. That's completely normal. That's why a baby passport photo session is different from a regular one.

We work with short photo moments, wait for a calm moment and take multiple shots, without putting pressure on your baby. Afterwards, we carefully check the background, lighting, cropping, and visibility of the face.

From Kids-ID to Passport or Visa

We take passport photos for both Belgian and foreign documents. When booking, please tell us what the photo is for and, for a foreign document, also mention the country or embassy.

Important requirements for a child's passport photo

You don't need to know these rules by heart: we check step-by-step during the appointment if the photo is technically correct.

• Recent: maximum 6 months old
• Belgian format: 35 × 45 mm
• In color, sharp, and with natural rendering
• Light, plain background without shadows
• Face from the front and fully visible
• Eyes open as much as possible
• No pacifier, toy, hands, or other person in the picture
• Hair, hat, or headband does not cover the face

For babies younger than one year, some rules are a bit more flexible: they don't always have to look completely neutral or straight into the camera. For children under six, there is also some leeway in the posture of the head and shoulders.

How to calmly prepare your baby

In three simple steps

1. We check the document. You tell us what it's for and for which country the photo is needed.
2. Short photo moments. We wait for a calm look and take multiple photos without forcing it.
3. Check and delivery. You receive 8 printed passport photos and the digital file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you also take passport photos of newborn babies?

Yes. We work in short moments and take extra time when needed.

Do my baby's eyes have to be open?

The face and eyes must be as visible as possible. For very young babies, the rules are sometimes applied more flexibly, but the competent authority decides.

Can my baby smile?

A calm, neutral expression is preferred. A wide smile or open mouth can lead to rejection.

Can I support my baby?

Yes, if necessary. We ensure that hands, arms, and other people are not visible in the final photo.

Can a pacifier or stuffed animal be in the picture?

No. It's also best to leave off a hat or wide headband during the official shot.

What if my baby cries?

Then we take a short break. You can feed, change, or comfort your baby, and then we try again.

Do I also get a digital file?

Yes. In addition to the printed passport photos, you also receive the digital file.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes. All baby and child passport photos are by appointment only; we cannot accommodate you without a confirmed appointment.
