Nicaragua Passport Photos and Visa Photo Requirements – Rules, Guidelines, and Specifications

Taking your passport photo or visa photo at home does not require much effort. However, you need to keep in mind that there are a few rules and guidelines that you need to follow. We explained all of them below so that you can avoid passport photo rejection.

  • You must take your passport photo or visa photo against a white background. A white wall in your house will do just fine, but if you do not have one, do not panic. Take a white sheet and hang it on a wall. As long as it is not see-through, the result is pretty much the same,
  • The light has the potential of distorting some of your facial features, which is why you must be careful about it. For one thing, opt for a frontal source so that you do not end up with shadows on your face. You should also check the intensity so that it is not too low or too high.
  • When you take your passport photo, make sure to keep your head straight and your face forward. Position the camera at eye level to achieve the ideal angle. Do not tilt your head, not rotate it. If you submit a portrait-style photo, it will be rejected.
  • The only allowed facial expression in a passport photo or visa photo is neutral. Therefore, you cannot appear smiling or displaying any other facial expression.
  • Your eyes cannot be obstructed by anything. Remove the hair away from your face. If you have glasses, you can keep the on only if their frames are clear, and there is no flash reflection in the photo. Needless to say, sunglasses and tinted eyeglasses are not acceptable.
  • When you take your passport photo or visa photo, you cannot appear with your head covered. Nevertheless, if you cover your head due to religious or cultural reasons, headwear is acceptable. All you have to be careful about is that your face is visible from the bottom of your chin to the top of your forehead and that there are no shadows on your face created by your headwear.
  • If your everyday likeness includes a beard, you are not required to shave it before you take your passport photo or visa photo.

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

Children of all ages need to have their own passports and visa when they travel. So, if you want to take them on your trip, you have to get travel documents for them too. iVisa Photos can help you with the pictures for your children as well. Here are some useful tips:

  • Only your baby can appear in the photo. If you want to hold him/her, not even your hands can be visible. Also, you should wear a white shirt.
  • Please take the picture of your child when he/she is awake. Children’s eyes must be visible too.
  • You must remove your baby’s headwear and pacifier before taking the passport photo or visa photo.
  • Lots of people place their children in a car seat to take their passport photo because it is more convenient. If you want to do the same, do not forget to put a white sheet on the backrest of the chair. The background needs to be white.
  • If you want to put the baby on his/her back so that you can take the picture from above, remember to put a white layer underneath to achieve the required white background.
