PhotoGov helps you to prevent these issues. Before sending the last file, our computerized system checks every image to guarantee complete compliance.
When taking pictures of babies and children for visa, 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.
For slightly older babies:
Be informed right away should the image violate the guidelines.
Your images are never shared and automatically destroyed after processing.
