Flexibility in Children’s photographs

Babies under one year do not have to have their eyes open.
As regards the photograph of the children under ten years of age, requirements can be somewhat relaxed in respect of height of the face and the position of the eyes in the photographs; and in case of babies and infants also, the position of the face, the facial expression, the eyes and the line of sight can have some relaxation. However, a frontal photograph with clarity is required for children.
It should show the child alone (no chair backs, toys or other people visible) looking at the camera with a neutral expression and the mouth closed.
