If your infant passport photo has eyes closed, it is commonly rejected because many countries require a clear, front-facing image where the child is awake and the eyes are visible. Babies move, blink, and fall asleep quickly, so this is one of the most frequent issues parents face when trying to create a compliant photo at home.
With BabyPassportMaker.com you can take a simple smartphone photo and our AI checks 20+ biometric markers including eye visibility, head tilt, shadows, and framing. Our system also applies AI background removal to create the required white or off-white backdrop and automatically crops and scales the face to the exact crown-to-chin measurements for your country.
To avoid closed eyes, try photographing your baby when they are calm and alert. Lay a newborn on a flat surface covered with a plain white sheet, use soft natural daylight, and take multiple shots in quick succession. Keep hands, toys, and blankets out of frame and aim for a neutral expression with an unobstructed face.
In about 60 seconds, you receive a high-resolution digital file for online applications plus a 4x6 inch print sheet you can print locally for cents. If your photo is rejected, you are covered by a 100% money-back guarantee or a free manual review.
