Passports

I'm going to Amsterdam next Thursday. The photo on my passport is 4 years old & on it I have a grade 1 shaved head.

Now my hair is long, spikey, and bleached......

Is this going to cause problems???

Well if the passport is still valid, it shouldn't cause serious problems.

when i went to france, i had my passport from when i was 13 and had a totaly different hair cut, imm pretty sure they wont give you any grief, as they must understand people change their hair etc, and imm sure ur face still looks the same

spad, in my passport photo i have really long dark-red wavy hair and am about 15 years old. they don't give a shit.

Yes it will be a problem. Customs will interrogate you for HOURS in some darkened room and force you to listen to euro cheeze. Naw you should have no problems Spad. Just bring extra ID and you should be fine man. Have fun @ the Tiesto concert.

I know what U mean. On my passport photography I have long hair and glasses. Now I rarely wear glasses, and my hair is very very short. It was a problem a year ago when I just had turned 18, and I had no other ID than my passport.. This happened when I went to some bars, the bartender looked at it for a long time, aksed my birhtday and all kinds of stuff, then I told him that I'd get my drivers license in 2 weeks, and there's a better photography. But as long as it's valid, they have to accept it.

Re: Passports

If my brother's passport had a picture of him when he was 6 months old, and he managed to go to the US being 14, why wouldn't you?

I had a similar one (I was 2 years old when I had my photo taken) and I used it as an ID till I turned 17

in the uk you have to renew your passport every ten years and update your photo more often than that, i think, if your a kid.

I'd never get the passport renew'd in time though. Unfortunatly the photo on my passport isn't interchangable
