WHAT?! I had just lost two days over these photos and come to find out I could have just done it all in one go. I decided that actually I would like her to take Lucy’s photos just to make ensure we wouldn’t have a problem later. (Remember both parents must be present.) Before I hung up the nice lady asked, “Would you like us to take your infant’s passport photo too?” The appointments were weeks out, and with time slipping away I made a couple different appointments at different locations in hopes one would work with both Kyle and I’s schedule. Like adults, a baby’s passport pictures must be the correct size with a white or off white background, printed on photo quality paper, with the mouth closed and eyes open (no smiling.) Securing an infant’s passport application is more complicated than just following the photo guidelines. I decided to check this off my list and call the post office to schedule an appointment. After a good couple of hours I think I managed to get at least one good shot. My lighting was bad and my baby did not want to participate. This was harder than I expected with a newborn.
The next day I set Lucy on the bed on top of a white sheet and started snapping away. Found near the CVS pharmacy, CVS infant passport photos are a big challenge with linoleum floors and squirming baby, not to mention skittish parents.Īfter a lot of frustration and a day wasted, I turned to the internet and found that I could just take her photos at home. I even found a website with step-by-step help and ways to check if I had an acceptable photo. We were particularly surprised by Walgreens passport photo center denying a baby’s photo. Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, all of these places had passport photo studios and cameras so you would think this would be a great place to have passport photos taken, but not one would take an infant photo.

We dedicated a full day and drove all over trying to find a place to take Lucy’s passport photo. Next we would have to have her photo taken. Here is where the debacle really began. $5-$10) Infant passport photos, how hard could that be? I had to pay for an extra copy but the fee was minimal. Since we were trying to obtain a passport for Lucy immediately after she was born I was able to pick up the Birth Certificate and Social Security card in person to help expedite the process. With just over a month we started the scramble. Lucy decided to postpone her arrival by a week and of course with recovery time and our precious new baby we were not able to really get the ball rolling on her passport until the end of January. A passport for a minor under the age of 16 is valid for five years.īefore Lucy was born we knew she would need a passport ASAP! She was due to arrive on January 11th and my best friend’s wedding was just a few weeks later in Curaçao which would give us a short time frame to accomplish this task.
