Get your baby's passport photos. The background must be white, so dress the baby
in another color to prevent too much blending into the background. The baby must
be awake with his eyes open, no pacifier and without his hands blocking the face.
The head must take up 1 inch to 1 3/4 inches of the photo. The photo cannot be
bigger than 2 by 2 inches. You need two identical photos.
