Avoid shadows on the face by using natural or gentle artificial light

Your face should be centered in the frame and occupy roughly 70–80% of the height of the picture

Wear black solid-colored clothing to offset the backdrop. Steer clear of reflective or white tops

Common Errors to Avoid

Using the incorrect size (e.g., passport size instead of 3x4 cm)

Grinning or head tilting

Wearing head coverings\glasses that hide the face is not acceptable unless for medical or religious reasons

Using low-resolution, overexposed, or hazy photographs

Background with shadows, patterns, or objects

During photo processing, PhotoGov automatically finds and fixes these problems

How to take Vietnam ID card 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.
If they are still unable to hold up their head, prop it up for them using a hand behind the sheet. Ensure no one else is visible in the shot.

Printing and Submission Policies

Using high-quality matte or glossy photo paper, print your photo to precisely 3x4 cm

Digital Submission: Post your document to the Vietnam ID card application site. Make sure it satisfies the requirements for file size and resolution
