Tips for getting a baby’s first passport photo right
easyJet and easyJet holidays teamed up with Peppa Pig for the baby’s first passport offer and created a short video on the Muddy Puddle Parenting YouTube channel. The video features easyJet Captain Kate West, who has recently become a parent herself, and gives practical advice for parents such as how best to take a baby’s first passport photo:
Pick the right moment like after a feed, when your baby has settled.
For the image background, use a plain white sheet and lie your baby down on it.
Shoot the photo from above, looking down at your baby.
Choose natural light over flash for a much better result.
For further assistance, here are GOV.UK’s rules for capturing a baby’s first passport photo:
Babies under 1 do not have to have their eyes open, and children under 6 do not need a plain expression.
Parents can support a baby’s head, but hands must not be visible in the photo.
The photo must be in colour, in focus, unedited and taken in the last month.
Online applications need a digital photo.

For a baby born in the UK, parents generally need the baby’s full birth certificate showing both the baby’s and the parents’ details, plus a compliant passport photo. HM Passport Office only accepts original documents, not photocopies. GOV.UK first child passport guidance lists exactly what applies.
There is no minimum age in the UK, so a baby can have a passport from birth if they are British and have the supporting documents. Parents need the baby’s full birth certificate for the application, so the birth needs to be registered first.
A UK passport issued to a child under 16 is valid for five years. A passport issued shortly after birth therefore expires around the child’s fifth birthday, so families planning more trips will need to renew it.
