Andorra Passport Photos and Visa Photo Requirements – Rules, Guidelines, and Specifications

While we already mentioned the passport photo specifications, we think that we need to elaborate a little bit so that there is no confusion. That way, you know precisely what to do when you use the services provided by iVisa Photos. Getting the right photo for your passport is essential, which is why we want to eliminate any concerns you may have.

If you choose to print out the photo yourself, check the size and make sure to use photo-quality paper. Otherwise, it will be rejected.
You have to face the camera when you have your picture taken. Your face should occupy 70% of the photograph, meaning that it must be 36 mm in height. If you have voluminous hair, the face should still be 36 mm in height. Perhaps you should consider pulling back your hair while taking the picture. Make sure to include the shoulders as well.
If the background is a different color than white or has patterns on it, your photo will be rejected. Plain white is perfect.
You are not allowed to smile while snapping the picture, but you cannot frown either. Relax your face to achieve a neutral facial expression.
Your eyes must be perfectly visible. If you usually wear prescription glasses, you can keep them on, but only if the frame does not cover your face and the lenses allow for your eyes to be visible. If you can, you should take them off when you take the photo.
Please make sure that the focus is right when you take the photo. A blurry picture will be rejected. Headwear is not accepted unless it is for religious purposes. However, even if you wear something on your head, your face should be visible from the bottom of your chin to the top of - your forehead.
The lighting must be adequate when you capture the picture. Make sure that it does not form any shadows or reflections on your face.
If you usually wear a beard, you can keep it for the photo. But if you plan on shaving it off when you travel, you should shave it before taking the passport photo as well. The point is that the picture must reflect your everyday look.

Rules and Requirements for Babies, Infants, and Newborn Passport and Visa Photos

Children of all ages need their own individual passport and visa. That is why you must take their photo as well. It may be a bit more complicated with newborns, but with a little bit of patience, you will do just fine. There are no significant differences between adult and children’s photos, although it is permitted for a baby’s face to take up less than 70% of the picture. After all, their heads are smaller. Here are some useful tips when taking a passport photo of a child:

Some parents lay their children on their backs to take a picture from above. If you want to do that, place a white sheet underneath the baby.
If you use the car seat method, do not forget to cover the backrest of the seat with a white layer.
Do your best to capture the child with their eyes open.
Only the child can appear in the picture. If we are talking about a baby of fewer than 12 months old and you have to hold him/her, keep in mind that your hands cannot be visible in the photo.
