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

Taking your passport photo at home is not a complicated task. All you have to do is to follow a few guidelines. Please note that failure to produce an adequate passport photo is one of the most common causes of rejection. Still, as long as you follow the rules we listed below, you are in the clear.

As we already stated above, the background of your photo must be white. It should also be free of patterns or shadows, so make sure to position yourself ideally. Do not worry if you do not have a white wall against which you can take your picture. A white sheet hung on a wall will work just as fine if it is not see-through.
When you position yourself for the picture, make sure that the light source is in front of you. That is the ideal way to avoid shadows on your face. Make sure that the intensity is not too low or too high, either.
You have to keep your head straight for the passport photo or visa photo. Do not move it in any direction. Portrait-style photos are rejected.
In your passport photo or visa photo, you cannot appear with a smile on your face. Nor can you make any other facial expressions other than neutral. To achieve the best result, relax your face when you take the picture.
One of the most essential aspects you must consider is that your eyes have to be perfectly visible. If the frames of your glasses are too large, you are required to take them off. Sunglasses and eyeglasses with tinted lenses are forbidden in a passport photo or visa photo.
Headwear is acceptable, but only if your religion dictates that you cover your head at all times. No other exceptions are made. However, if you do have headwear, make sure that your face is visible from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin and from ear to ear. The headwear should not cast a shadow on your face, either.
You do not have to shave your beard is you usually have one. The point of the passport photo is to reflect your everyday appearance.

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

Since children need their individual travel documents, you are going to have to take their pictures too. You should know that the difference between an adult’s passport photo and a child’s passport photo is not significant. Nevertheless, a child’s head can take less space in the picture. Here are some tips to help you out:

Take your child’s passport photo or visa photo when he/she is awake. The eyes must be seeable.
If you have a baby, please remove his/her pacifier and headwear before taking the photo.
Only the child can appear in the picture. So, if you want to hold your child during the photo session, not even your hands can appear in the shot. It’s important to remember that.
If you wish to place the baby in a car seat to take the picture, remember to cover the backrest with a white layer. The background has to be white for kids too.
Placing the baby on his/her back to take the passport photo from above means that you have to put a white sheet underneath.
