Passport pic Question

Is this pic likely to be accepted by passport office? DS going through the hair cut refusal phase so it’s hard to get it out of his face!

I just got my passport renewed- Snappy Snaps have a thing on their computer where they put the pic in and it tells you if it will get accepted then and there and they keep taking til it's ok-is that an option?

Not sure what would be wring with that hair anyway?

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 10/04/2022 21:16

*wrong

LIZS · 10/04/2022 21:18

Upload it and see. Should be ok if can see ears and eyes.

Picpassport · 10/04/2022 21:24

Thanks both, just wondered as it’s over his forehead, eyes and ears visible though so will give it a try

His hair is covering less of his face than a regular fringe would.

PragmaticWench · 10/04/2022 21:27

No. We had one refused last week as DS's hair was over his eyebrow on one side.

bizzey · 10/04/2022 21:28

I could be wrong ...but the other eyebrow is not visible .

I had mine done in snappy snaps the other day and had to shift my hair around so whole face was visible .

bizzey · 10/04/2022 21:29

You could put a clip in it ?

superram · 10/04/2022 21:29

It’s also far too dark.

bizzey · 10/04/2022 21:31

Remind ,that passport pics .. aren't meant to be a photo shoot session !

That's what I had to keep telling myself !!

Picpassport · 10/04/2022 21:45

It’s not as dark in real life, just my rubbish camera, it was taken in a photo booth with digital code.

But PP is right, it does cover part of his eyebrow, maybe I should get it retaken.
No snappy snap stores near from what I can see

@bizzey it’s more actually getting him to take any photo at the moment, this 2 mins in a photo booth came with serious Kevin and Perry vibes!

If you do it online then it rejects your photo if it's not right. One of my dc's was rejected as her curly hair was too bouffy.

Shitme · 10/04/2022 21:53

I have thick curly hair which fall over my forehead, I just looked at my photo, done about 4 years ago and my hair is over my forehead, practically at my eyebrows, right across and they accepted that, my eyebrows do show though,

Maybe trim his fringe a bit😀, it will soon grow back

Picpassport · 10/04/2022 21:53

That’s useful to know thanks @JessicaSpace it was an online application I was going to do.
Maybe if they come back with too bouffy I might convince DC to get a haircut Wink

@Picpassport ..I feel for him !!😅

I was the same last week getting mine !!
Hated the thought of having to do it .
If you could go somewhere like snappy snaps ,it is easier ...as you don't have to look at your face while the picture is being taken so to speak .(and feel stupid)

Though our snappy snaps did the picture in the middle of the shop.

Might be uncomfortable for him ?

Good luck .

LIZS · 10/04/2022 21:59

You can take the picture on a phone and upload. The system will then say yes or no, in which case you just try again.

Timpsons also take photos that get preapproved.
