Don't look like passport anymo' - new one

colincarnate

Hi,

I have a problem in that on my passport my photo totally doesn't look like me at all and fortunately it's the butt of jokes and doesn't stop entrance to countries.

i now wish to change my picture on my passport i.e. a new one

I've checked on the governmenty site Oasis and they don't really have a process for this - the nearest being simply reporting my current passport as lost and doing it that way.

so does anyone know if it's possible to lash in my passport along with accompanying docs to get a spanking new passport with a nice up to date photo of me on it?

thanks

How long do you have left on your passport? My advise is just to try adn get a new one from the passport office. Just tell them you need a new one to get into the US. It should work as they know the US are very strict.

Do NOT claim your passport is lost. If you lose it twice (I think), you can only get a passport for a limited amount of time at a time (if you know what I mean). It's probably a way of preventing people selling passports.

If you're gonna get a new one, ask about the newer biometric passports that will soon be in circulation (and mandatory for entrance in the US) They are due to be released soon I hear.

My passport is the same - evident of my earlier rocker days and gets me a few strange looks by officials
