Australian guidelines
http://www.passports.gov.au/Web/requ...ts/photos.aspx
British guidelines

And getting a baby to do this is a nightmare. I reckon we took 100 photos to get an acceptable one. Even then the post office clerk questioned whether the background was too grey and referred to the manager.
According the British guidelines digital photos at 1200dpi are acceptable. Digital photos should not be altered but I am sure cropping is acceptable.

We applied for Aussie passports for the kids recently. I took in all the completed application forms to the post office, with what I thought were pretty good digital pics taken at home against a plain background, but they were not allowed - you can't use digital pics they said, new rules. The faces also have to be within a certain measurement (with allowances made for babies) and no smiling, hair away from the face etc. The post office is the best place to have the photos done - the counter clerks know what the requirements are and they have a camera set up specifically for passport photos. It cost about $10 each child I think, and it took several goes to get pictures that were exactly right for the guidelines, but they only charged for the one photo each, thankfully.

Some people might think its easy, but some kids just wont do it no matter how much you plead with them. This I believe was after the 16th attempt when he made it clear he was not game.
And its not just the kids, how about getting those pet passports done. I know we all try and look nice for the camera, but Mutley was just going too far this time.....

We have no control over the infant child and she changes her mood very frequently and quickly.We went to photographers and they have already given up. We are still confused how to resolve this problem, and catch photographs for her passports upto the Aussie standards...
Please comment and suggest in this regard.

When they told you they had to be "actual photos not digital", they probably meant they had to be printed out copies not emailed copies.

SIMPLE; When i took my then, 4 month old to Australia, I found that several photo shops who do passport photos have mats for baby photos. Ly them down and the photo is taken in a second. It was accepted.

Re: Passport Photographs For New Born Child!!!
We are going through the baby passport photo thing at the moment and have taken loads of pictures to end up with probably three that would be acceptable.
The problem we have is how to print them out at the correct size...???
They have to be 35mm X 45mm I don't have any flashy software on the computer...Do I need some? or is there a way of resising them using another method?
HELP!!!
