- Three: If your baby is too young then you can take your baby and lay the baby on a table with a white background in its car seat and take the passport photo there. As soon as the baby is ready and in position, take the photo. It is crucial though that you take safety precautions when doing this. We recommend that one person holds the baby while the other person should make sure that your baby is secure and safe in its seat.
