What is the best option for baby passport photo taking in Ireland?
For baby passport photos you will need a provider that can be close to your house, preferably he/she is accessible without previous appointment (when your baby is not grumpy) and can offer a reasonable price. Taking into consideration that today you do not need to print passport photos for passport book or passport card in Ireland, you can also consider online tools.
- Online tools. For the reasons above, it would be best to take a photo at home with a tool designed for Ireland and official documents. Smartphone iD app allows you to receive approved and conform photos in your email after few moments.
- The Passport Office: This is probably the most obvious place to go, and the passport office might have staff who are specifically trained to take passport photos and always help you in taking your baby passport photo. If not, they will ask you to provide a printed passport photo. Be aware that photo booths won’t be for this (as you cannot support your baby).
- Proffessional Photo Studios : Ireland cities are home to many prominent photographic studios. If you need photographs of anyone, this is an obvious place to go, and they offer a superior service. Be ready to for a higher price than conventional photo booths.
- Local Pharmacy If you have a valid digital photo and wish to print it, you can use local pharmacy that has a good printing machine. Before the printing, make sure that your baby’s photo is in line with the standards (photo size, background color).
Can I take my baby’s passport photo myself?
You can take your baby’s passport photographs at home, provided you adhere to the requirements. It’s best to lay your baby on a white sheet or white baby seat and try to make baby look into the camera with closed mouth. Try to take many because most will turn out with closed eyes, open mouth or missing eye focus.
