Rules and requirements for babies, infants, and newborns Passport and Visa photos
The visa to Mexico photo rules and requirements are the same for adults and children alike. We have some tips below that will help you in getting a compliant photo for your baby so that they too can apply for the Mexican visa.
-
One, your baby needs to have their eyes open and a lot of moms out there recommend that you take a picture after your baby had a good rest
-
Two, the background needs to also be white so dressing the baby in a contrasting color will help.
-
Three, you can use a white blanket, bed sheet, or even paper.
-
Four, if your baby is too young, say a few weeks old then we recommend that you take the baby and lay him or her on the kitchen or a dining room table in their car seat. When your baby is ready and in position, one person should take the photo and another person should make sure that the baby is safe.
-
Finally, take a lot of pictures so that you will have at least one acceptable image among them.
