Applying for your infant’s first passport can feel like a daunting administrative task, but being prepared makes the process much smoother. Many parents ask whether an Aadhaar card is mandatory for a child's passport application, particularly for Tatkal services. While rules can evolve, generally, you will need to provide valid proof of address and birth documentation. It is highly recommended to check the official Passport Seva website for the most current document checklist for minors before your appointment. Pro-tip: For high-quality passport-sized photos that meet strict visa or passport specifications, established professional photo studios are often more reliable than trying to capture a compliant image at home.
