It can be notoriously difficult to sit a child down for a passport photo. In fact, the passport office has even recognised that it\u2019s no walk in the park by making some guidelines age-specific. For instance, anyone who\u2019s six or under don\u2019t have to be looking directly at the camera or have a neutral expression on the image. As you familiarise yourself with these rules, you should probably start thinking about the perfect opportunity to take your child\u2019s passport photo. How about right after school when they first get home? Here\u2019s how this timeframe could potentially make the task much easier.<\/p>\n
Polished appearance<\/p>\n
Your son or daughter will be guaranteed to look dapper on their passport picture if they\u2019re wearing a smart school uniform. Yes, they might need a comb running through their hair and a tissue to wipe their nose, but after this, you\u2019re probably looking at a generally presentable passport photo. Don\u2019t forget, the image can always be used for non-passport purposes, such as if you were to share it with relatives.<\/p>\n
Little energy<\/p>\n
It\u2019s rare that a youngster ever appears to be running low on energy. However, you might find that they take a while to snap out of first gear after finishing a day at school. There\u2019s a small window where you can hopefully convince your child to sit still without fear that they\u2019ll be raring to do something else. <\/p>\n
Free time<\/p>\n
You and your child can take your time when you choose to snap a passport photo after school. After all, in the morning you\u2019ve got the school run and in the evenings you\u2019ve got dinner time, bath time and bedtime. You should find that the process runs much smoother for everyone involved if you\u2019re less pressed for time. It also reduces the likelihood of submitting a picture that will be rejected for not meeting the guidelines.<\/p>\n
Good luck!<\/p>\n
Hopefully, you won\u2019t need luck if you\u2019re well prepared for taking your son or daughter\u2019s passport photo. Remember that you can always have its quality double checked by sending it over to Paspic. This way you\u2019ll have assurance that you won\u2019t need to go through the rigmarole again, as well as benefiting from the convenience that comes from taking the photos at home.<\/p>\n
