Trinidad & Tobago Passport Photos and Visa Photo Requirements – Rules, Guidelines, and Specifications

Now that we covered the Trinidad & Tobago passport photo requirements, we are going to talk about the rules and guidelines you have to follow in the process of taking your own picture at home.

  • The background of your passport photo or visa photo must be white. You can take your picture against a white background. If you do not have one at hand, you can use a white sheet that is not transparent. As long as the background does not have colors, patterns, and shadows, you are in the clear.
  • The environment you choose to take your photo in must have appropriate lighting. The intensity should not be too low or too high. Also, the source of light should come from in front of you. That way, you do not appear in your photo with shadows on your face.
  • You must appear in your passport photo or visa photo with your head straight and face perpendicular to the camera. Do not submit a portrait-style photo because it will be rejected. Both sides of your face must be seen equally.
  • The only allowed facial expression in your passport photo or visa photo is neutral. Therefore, you cannot smile.
  • Your eyes must not be obscured by anything, such as your hair or glasses. If your eyeglasses have clear, discreet frames, you can keep them on. However, make sure there is no flash reflection in the picture. Needless to say, you cannot wear sunglasses or glassed with tinted lenses when you have your photo taken.
  • Headwear, as a rule, it is not allowed in a passport photo or visa photo. Nevertheless, if your religion does not allow you to keep your head uncovered, headwear is permitted. There are a few rules, though. First, your face must be visible from top to bottom. And second, the headwear should not cast shadows on your face.
  • As long as your beard is a part of your everyday appearance, you do not have to shave it before you take your passport photo or visa photo.

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

There are no significant differences between a child’s passport photo and an adult’s passport photo other than the fact that a child’s head is smaller. Therefore, it can occupy less space in the picture. Here are some tips that should help you successfully take your child’s passport photo:

  • Take your child’s passport photo or visa photo when he or she is awake. The eyes must be clearly seeable.
  • In case you want to place the child in a car seat to take his/her picture, make sure to cover the backrest of the chair with a white layer to ensure a white background.
  • If you want to lay the child on his/her back and take the photo from above, you have to put a white sheet underneath to achieve a white background.
  • You cannot appear in your child’s passport photo or visa photo under no circumstances. Not even your hands can be spotted in the shot.
  • Before taking the photo, you have to remove your child’s pacifier and/or headwear.
