So, I'm applying for a new passport, and I don't need to get the photo countersigned if it looks anything like the old one.





Is it just me, or are passport photo booths becoming enormously shit?

EDIT: On the plus side, I am reassured that my hairline has not receded one jot since I was sixteen.

UPDATE: I have had a new photo taken in a much better photo booth, it not only looks like the other guy but also looks like me and not a hideous mongoloid child. Will post tonight or something.

That reminds me, I need to replace mine too, and my old one is from 1988. And no, I'm not posting that one.

Looks passable to me.

If you go to a big enough pot office, they may have the 'check and send' service, where they make sure all your documentation is OK before you post it, and stamp/sign forms to prove it - I think this also means you also don't have to send your birth certificate/driving licence/everything else off as well.

Makes you look like you have strange chin things going on. Oh and also that you're like 5 stone bigger than you are. But it's you.. vaguely.

[kingandy]

Well, since I'm doing a renewal rather than a new one, apparently I only have to send the old passport (and new photos) in with the form. I'll look into Check & Send though.

you're ten years older. Its worth going for the new picture.

Possibly one without the poor stubble though.

[kingandy]

Never mind if it looks like me. Does it look like the guy on the left?

[kingandy]

No, I still have to send a new picture in, but if it's recognisable as the same person then I don't have to get it countersigned. Which would mean, I don't know, meeting up with Marcus or somebody.

you need a new signature, you've gone from cheeky chappy do dodgy crim

Check and Send makes it a lot easier. I've used it for passport and driving license and it hardly breaks the bank considering the reduction of chances for them to f*ck up.

[kingandy]

As long as they are the same person, it does not matter.

[whimsicalfool.livejournal.com]

Awwww the guy on the left is so doofy cute!

No, I think you need to resign.

[whimsicalfool.livejournal.com]

Ack! Not resign! Re-sign. As in it's been to long! I suck! WAU!

omg how cute a 16 yr old you made. *swoons*

[mrssshhh.livejournal.com]

Your new photo is a Crimewatch photofit. You can even see the straight lines and right-angles over the jaw / mouth area, where they've been posted together. That and the neck & shirt are quite clearly drawn on and not real.

[kingandy]

Oh well obviously.

It's a marvellous stop motion extravanzia... Andy - you must see them.

[myki.livejournal.com]

The 16 year old you looks like he's been mounted on a plaque.

But yeah... they're both you, so they are.

[kamagurka.livejournal.com]

They have a pot office where you are? Where do you live?

[redhillian.livejournal.com]

Ummm.... I forget now.....
