Family passport photos 2026: the whole family in one order

Why family passport renewals add up

A family of four renewing passports at the same time pays for four photos, and at a shop that often means four turns at the counter too. Online services do not always do better: some charge the full price per photo.

An efficient family workflow

• One light source, one wall. Set up a single spot once: facing a window during daylight, a plain wall behind, the phone on a tripod or a stack of books. Each family member steps into the same spot in turn.
• A few minutes per person. Each person takes a few photos and picks the best one.
• One order for everyone. Put the whole family in one order. Prints arrive together, with one shipping charge.

How Foto2Pass handles family orders

When you add more people to one order, the price per person goes down automatically, and shipping is charged once. In the Netherlands, four digital photos cost €24.97 in total instead of four times €8.99: a saving of 30%.

Children and babies

The hardest part of a family shoot is usually the youngest. Two practical tricks:

• Babies:shoot straight down on a plain white sheet. Have a partner hold the phone overhead while you catch the baby's attention next to the lens. Take many photos; one will have the eyes open and a neutral face.
• Toddlers:sit them on a stool in front of the wall, with a parent behind the phone to catch their attention. Avoid “say cheese”. Read more in our babies and children passport photo guide.

The honest take

For one or two people, a shop and an online photo are close; if you are already running an errand, the shop is fine. For a larger family, doing it at home in one order saves time and stress, and free retakes before you pay matter most with children.

Start a family order: take the photos at home, pay once for everyone. Lower price per person, one shipping charge, and money back if the authority rejects a photo we delivered.
