If you plan to travel with your baby, he or she will need a passport. To apply for your baby’s passport, you need to provide a suitable passport photo that meets the specific requirements set by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) in Singapore. This article tells you how to get a passport photo for your baby in Singapore, and provides information on the requirements and prices.
Requirements and size for baby passport photos
When it comes to baby passport photos, the following requirements must be met to ensure your application is accepted:
- The photo should be in color, taken against a white background, and have a clear, front view of your baby’s face.
- Your baby’s eyes should be open and looking directly at the camera, with a neutral expression.
- The photo should be recent, taken within the last 6 months.
- The size of the baby passport photo should be 35mm x 45mm, with the head size measuring between 25mm to 35mm from the chin to the crown.

Requirements for babies under 3 years old
For babies under 3 years old, there are additional requirements to keep in mind:
- Your baby’s head should be supported if they cannot sit up on their own, but the support should not be visible in the photo.
- It’s acceptable for your baby’s eyes to be closed or looking away from the camera, as long as the photo still meets all the other requirements.
