The key ones are: The baby or child should be against an off-white, cream or light grey plain background so that their features are clearly distinguishable against the background.

Answer 7Take her to a photographer - they are about the same price (or very little more) that a booth. It takes about 2 minutes and they know exactly what they're doing. I learned this the hard way after spending £16 dangling my daughter at funny angles in a photo booth! With my little one they laid her on a huge white bean bag and snapped away - and the pic came out so well I still keep a copy in my wallet.
Answer 8I went to Max Speilman to get my sons done. They did it in his pram but put a white towel behind him for a white background. The lady in the shop was great, she took a few of him with a digital camera and loaded it onto one of the machines and chose a suitable pic. If you go to Max Speilman - they Guarantee the pictures are suitable for passports, I sent mine off and got his passport back with no problems.
Answer 9I recently picked up a passport application - here's some of the advice they give in their leaflet... "Photographs of children five years and under must show a clear image that is a true likeness of the child. Because young children can be difficult to photograph, children aged five and under do not need to have a neutral expression. We will also accept glare on glasses or pictures with their head at an angle. Also children aged five and under do not need to look directly at the ; All other standards must be met. If you have real difficulty in meeting these conditions, you should visit a photographic studio rather than a photo booth. If you need more advice contact the Passport Adviceline on 0870 521 0410

Answer 12They are ridiculously strict. I had to have my daughter's done in a studio in the end - it only cost a few quid (special passport photos). They are fussy about background, size and placing of head within the photo. If you take your picture into the post office they will be able to give you an idea if it's OK or not - they have to measure the image against a template thingy.
Answer 13i went to my local max spilmans and they just kept on clicking away till they got one that was right and they only charged for the one picture. they were great actually.
Answer 14As far as I know they even accept smiling pictures, which they don't for grownups. It's pretty much the same all over the world.
