How to take South Korea registration card photos for babies and kids

When taking pictures of babies and children for employment authorization, many of the same rules apply; for example, they must still adhere to the dress code, and the photograph must be high-quality and well-lit. With that being said, the State Department is generally more forgiving when it comes to the neutral expression requirement.

  • If you are photographing a newborn:
  • Spread a white sheet out over the floor.
  • Place the baby down on the sheet and take their photograph against it.

For slightly older babies:

  • Prop them up in a child’s chair against a white sheet.
  • If they are still unable to hold up their head, prop it up for them using a hand behind the sheet. Ensure no one else is visible in the shot.
