Passport and Visa photos online maker APP, Trinidad and Tobago documents

An identity card serves as identification for every single citizen of a country. It is highly recommended that citizens renew an identity card before it comes to the expiration date, as everyone is required to hold an identity document.

This is also applicable to passports, though you only need a valid passport if planning to leave the country. A passport helps to verify our identity and nationality when traveling abroad. 

Nationals from Trinidad and Tobago, like most people all around the world, need to obtain one photo or more when applying for either a Trinidad and Tobago identity card, or Trinidad and Tobago passport. This is highly important, as it is key for the identification of the document holder. 

Though you must be aware that applicants are not required to submit any kind of photo, but a biometric photo complying with official requirements that were established by the national authorities. A biometric photo is that which helps identify a person, highlighting every single facial feature, and you are required to submit one every time you renew or apply for a passport, card, license or any other official document.

As you may know, biometric photos always need to meet some official requirements. Trinidad and Tobago Government establishes different specifications for biometric photos. You can learn more about photo guidelines in this article.

Trinidad and Tobago Photo Requirements

There exist different requirements depending on what you are applying for. For instance, a Trinidad and Tobago passport photo must meet the following specifications:

• Photo size: must be 2x2 inches.
• The photo must show the face of the applicant, as well as the head, the neck and the top of the shoulders.
• Photos must be taken in the last 6 months and show the current appearance of the passport applicant.
• Take your photo in front of a white and plain background.
• Top-quality photo: there should not be any shadows, blurrings, or any other flaws.
• Please, take off your glasses before taking the photo, so there are no reflections.
• Applicants cannot cover their head unless this is due to medical or religious motifs.
• Adopt a neutral facial expression. You cannot smile.
• Look straight at the camera, keeping your eyes open and your mouth closed.

Take into consideration that any biometric photo is different from the rest, so you should make sure you learn the specific requirements before submitting a wrong photo for a Trinidad and Tobago official document. 

A great number of photos are rejected when applying for an official document as any particular specification has been dismissed or ignored. In the following section, you can learn about the most common errors when submitting a biometric photo. 

Most Common Errors When Taking a Biometric Photo

It is extremely easy to commit a mistake when taking a biometric photo by yourself, as traditional photo booths are not able to provide their customers with comments concerning how to improve a photo or what rule is being dismissed. On the contrary, online photo booths can check photo validity easily so it’s quite recommended that, if willing to save some money and get a top-quality photo, you consider using an online photo booth, whether you are planning to take passport photos, ID photos or many others specified by local authorities.

In case you opt for taking your photo at a traditional photo booth, keep reading to learn what may happen to you, as it happened to many people. These are the most common mistakes when taking a photo by yourself:

1. Photos are not recent enough. Remember that the photo you submit is at least taken in the last 6 months, as it needs to show your current appearance. In case your appearance has changed since you took the photo, it is also required to repeat it. It is the case of those who went through facial surgery, got a new tattoo on his/her face or neck, changed their hair color, etc. 
2. The applicant didn’t look straight at the camera, placed too close or too far from the camera, kept the eyes closed or the mouth partially open.
3. Smiling is also forbidden! You should keep a neutral facial expression. Please, make sure you keep your beautiful smile for other kinds of photos.
4. Photo size is not correct. Take into consideration that the required size for a Trinidad and Tobago passport photo is 2x2 inches (50x50 cms). Though you would not only need to consider correct photo dimensions for a passport photo. You must know that every single biometric photo (ID photo, driving license photo…) has specific requirements. 
5. Your photo is not top-quality. Biometric photos should be printed on professional photo paper and not contain any kind of flaws, such as blurrings, red-eye effect, stains, etc.
6. Lighting is not good enough. This may produce shadows or any other flaws. We recommend you to take a photo benefiting from natural daylight and avoid taking it once the sun has gone down.
7. The photo background is inappropriate. Remember that you need to take your photo in front of a plain and white background. We are aware of how hard it is to do this if you’re willing to take a Trinidad and Tobago passport photo on your own, instead of attending a traditional photo booth or professional photo studio. Nevertheless, Passport-Photo.online photo booth can erase your background and transform it to meet the official government requirements.
