How to take India PCC / Birth Certificate photos for babies and kids
When taking pictures of babies and children for employment authorization, many of the same rules apply; for example, they must still adhere to the dress code, and the photograph must be high-quality and well-lit. With that being said, the State Department is generally more forgiving when it comes to the neutral expression requirement.
- If you are photographing a newborn:
- Spread a white sheet out over the floor.
- Place the baby down on the sheet and take their photograph against it.
For slightly older babies:
- Prop them up in a child’s chair against a white sheet.
