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.

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

Possibly one without the poor stubble though.

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.

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

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