Maybe you were tempting fate when you chose your user ID

Keep the spares for the next time you apply. Lets face it, in 10 years the next lot will only look worse. I recently had to renew my driving licence. I burnt the first set of photobooth pictures!

Aren't they all digital now and give you a preview of the photo before you click the "yes, I'll have this one as I look less of a nonce" ?

My passport photos veer between Bader-Meinhoff and Riff-raff from Rocky Horror.

Its the passport photos you get stuck with when you renew in a hurry that can be the funniest. A friend had a foreign job come up at short notice and had to renew his passport on the last day of Movember. My GF feinted whilst getting her jabs for a job in Africa so her passport photo, which she had to get the same day, has the carpet burns where she hit the floor.

A body off Baywatch, a face off Crimewatch.

I was told I could not use a photo booth for my pics, as they were digitally printed, and could have been altered. So apparently a pic of my face, held up next to my own face for ID was not good enough? So I was asked to go use the digital photo booth in their building 🙄
And don't get me started on the fact that the system cannot cope with a white guy, with British name having an Urdu birth certificate and a British high commission certificate that are dated differently...every time I get invited for interview...

I think you’re expected to look at least a little bit murderous in your passport photo—I look uncannily like Wednesday Addams in mine

Good news...you can use the same photo on your next driving licence! I renewed my passport about 2 yrs ago and had to replace a lost driving licence and had the option to use the photo on the database that was used on my passport. So now I have two formal documents with a photo of me looking like an escaped convict.

Thank your lucky stars you don't look like me - I look like the current stereotypical image of a terrorist...

I do find someone called pigface worrying about their passport photo quite amusing.

Anyway, it's a passport photo - it's not supposed to look anything like you really are.
