Can I Take a Passport Photo If I'm in a Wheelchair?
Yes, it's definitely possible to take a passport photo while seated in a wheelchair. In fact, it can be more convenient to do so at home rather than visiting a professional photographer.
However, it's important to note that visible support in the form of a wheelchair or any other external aid is not allowed in passport photos, as per the photo requirements of United States. While support can be used, it must not be visible in the photo. This ensures that the correct posture is maintained without any external assistance being visible.
Therefore, it's recommended to take a seat on a chair with a low backrest during the photo-taking process if the backrest of the wheelchair reaches head height.
Alternatively, you can use a white blanket to conceal the backrest of the wheelchair during the photo-taking process.This will help ensure that the photo meets all necessary requirements while accommodating any physical needs.
