Czech photo requirements: Special considerations for babies and young children

Applying for a Schengen Visa or passport includes the same photo requirements for everyone, including infants. To capture the perfect shot of your little one:

  • Ensure the baby's eyes are open, using toys as attention grabbers if needed (keep toys out of the photo).
  • Use a white background, which can be a blanket or sheet.
  • For very young children, taking the photo in a car seat might offer comfort and stability.
