Good to know

US Baby Passport rules, reviewed by Justine Hartley · Sep 2026

Snap2Pass never edits your face. It replaces the background and crops the photo to size, nothing else.

Also worth knowing

  • Babies
    A baby's eyes need not be fully open

    The State Department says it is okay if a baby's eyes are not entirely open. All other children must have their eyes open. Nobody else may appear in the photo, and the expression should be neutral.

  • Who takes the photo
    You can take it at home

    Place your baby on a plain white or off-white sheet, or cover a car seat with the sheet and place the baby in it. Nothing used to support the baby, including a parent's arms or hands, may appear in the frame.
