Yes. A passport photo can be taken while you are seated in a wheelchair or another chair.
Position the camera at eye level, keep your face fully visible, and use even lighting. If the chair or a support appears in the frame, check the rules for the selected country and document before changing your setup. Some authorities allow accommodations or assistance, while others give specific framing instructions.
Do not hide a mobility aid or move to an unsafe seat solely for the photo. If the standard setup is not accessible, contact the issuing authority or application centre and ask what accommodation or supporting information it accepts.
