My former passport photo was *designed* to look like the little kid I was when it was taken... Oh, the stares I got when I had a beard! Comparing the looks of a 21 year old with beard to the photo of a 14 year old (without beard ) used to be quite an experience...

its a new security technique. The security people look at your passport photo, and they look at you. If you actually look like your photo, then they know that you are a terrorist.

I love my passport photo! It's a great picture of me. Around the time I got the passport I also got a new license which was also a really good pic of me. Unfortunately I had to give up that license when I moved out of state and none of my id photos since then have been remotely flattering.
I miss that license, but thankfully I still have the passport for a couple more years.

I've never been to another country. Hopefully I can slim up by then, so I don't look like a troll for my picture. :/

My passport photo was taken on a day of makeup, fixed hair, and dark red lipstick. I look like a Russian spy.

I actually liked the photo on my last Virginia license. The one after I was old enough not to be on there in profile. The New York one isn't bad either but it's on a silly looking pink background. Posts: 5422 | Registered: Dec 2001

I have to renew both my passport and my residency visa this year, and the passport bit ought to be interesting. I've never done it via the High Commission before. Do they do it there? Do they have to send everything to Canada to get done? Will they take away my passport for the duration? Will I still be able to prove that I am who I am? I have no other form of identification that works in this country. Could be interesting. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

On my student card I have very long hair and am giving the camera something of a "model look". It's teh awesome. I wish I could use it for all my cards, but alas, it's not to be. I do like how all my photo ID has drastically different hair lengths. That way I can never forget the mistakes I've made...

When I shaved my head I got very funny looks whenever I pulled out an ID with a pic with waist-length hair. And then I got a new driver's license when my hair was just starting to grow back, and looked like a total thug. It was fun. But I got a new one again a year or so ago, so I look relatively close to it again.
It was especially fun handing over the thug one when I got carded when I went out and was all dolled up.

My driving licence picture was taken when I was 16 and very into wearing black ribbons and glaring evilly at people. I use it to intimidate bouncers. My passport picture would be nice except that the hologram is right over the top so when you turn it to the light I look like I've got thistles growing out of my eyebrows.

Does anyone know...do they enforce the policy of only issuing passports to minors when both parents are present when applied for?
We're going to Mexico in April. I was thinking it would be nice to have passports rather than using birth certificates and photo id, but there's a line on the application that says that both parents must be present when applying for passports for minors. Not a problem for getting one for Rainbow, but big issue for getting one for Christian. Just wonderin'.

I got a passport when I was 15 and only one parent was present. The main concern was all the ID.

There was something on the news a while ago that said that people were no longer going to be allowed to smile with their teeth showing on passport pictures. Apparently it's not a natural facial expression.

fugu, there are drawbacks to having relatives who lurk on Hatrack. After my pronouncement yesterday that there was only one picture from when my head was shaved and it wasn't digital, my mother went and found three pictures, including the one I don't like, and scanned them.
She then called me this morning and said she was sending me "something you were talking about..."

She knows better. So do you. You wouldn't believe some of the pictures I found when she made me clean out those boxes that were in my old room a couple of months ago.
