passports for children

[unicorn]

I have just checked my dd(1)'s passport- it doesn't expire until November 04 but(and this is a laugh)the photo is from when she was about 8months old.. she is now 5.. what do I do?

Well they knew this would happen when they insisted on passports for children!

You could ring the Passport Office but they must have 4/5-yr-olds coming through with baby photos all the time.

bugger!

It doesn't matter, Unicorn, that the photo is out of date, it's still valid. But many countries require you to have at least 6mths to run on a passport, so you might need to get a new one anyway. HTH.

it says.. passports still accepted 2 years after expiry. (shurely shome mistake?)

unicorn, that's just for check-in ID on domestic flights. (Something to do with security presumably.) It does sound funny though!

ahh very misleading for idiots like me!!

I fly to and from scotland with my DD who is 22 months old now. All I have ever needed is her birth certificate.

I am considering gettinfg a passport for her now as I will have to start paying for her when she turns 2 in August.

There is a charge to change the picture. Another way of making more money methinks.

We are taking DD to Florida this summer. She will be 28 months. She is 2 days old on her passport photo, so obviously no resemblance at all to her. In fact it could be any child with us! Not changing her photo though - not paying out anymore!

I got my first passport at 13, and had it updated 5 years later, but on holiday in geramny the guy at passport control looked at the first picture and started to laugh and show it to other passport control guys. I was mortified!

although in hind sight, I'm hoping it mean't that I had improved with age
