Ds looks NOTHING like his passport photo

[Posey]

Is this a problem?
The picture was taken when he was about 14m old. He's now 5.
Just don't want to be refused entry at the airport.

I can't see how anyone could expect him to look anything like his 14mo self. The whole passport for the under 5's thing is laughable imo. We have the same problem - dd is 11 months old in her passport photo and we will be taking her away in a couple of months at 3.10yrs.

I can't see you (or me for that matter!) having any problems, this must happen hundreds of times every day.

No, not a problem. DD's first passport had a photo of her at 2 days old - she used it just before she turned 5yo. So she looked absolutely nothing like her photo at all!

nor do any of my children. would be fine

Daft isn't it?
Alternative would be to renew every year, which would be a pain though.
They don't tend to scrutinise children's photos too carefully, IIRC. And I guess they accept that babies grow

Thanks for reassurance
You're right, it must happen all the time. Just having a little panic.

Now as for mine, well I look like a woman possessed. Do you think they'll let me in?
