I needed to renew my passport as it expires in January. Only a couple of sections to complete on the form now. I had my photos coutersigned, just in case the passport office feel that I have changed too much over the past ten years. Then back to the post office to have it all checked (more money). They informed me that my photo should be alright but it may be rejected as I have a fringe! Let's hope it comes back soon, as I going to Miami and then Florida Keys at the beginning of September to visit my stepson and then have a holiday with some friends. We are also going to try and have a day at Harry Potter World, at Universal Studios.
I didn't know that having a fringe was an issue of national security! That'd be me rejected too then!
ReplyDeleteFringe might be too long. My friends photo was rejected twice as I had written to heavily on the back of his photo! Seemingly they need to be able to electronically read the iris of your eye.
ReplyDeleteMy photo was rejected because of my glasses. But I always wear them and go through passport control wearing them! Dave's was accepted with glasses?
ReplyDeleteMy friend has and always has had a fringe, rejected!
ReplyDeleteShe has also always worn glasses, rejected!
She now has a passport photo that doesn't resemble her at all, excepted!
All very bizarre, good luck with it Diane!
like Miriam, my photo was rejected with my glasses. what??? I wear glasses for over 40y even under the shower!!!! (ok I admit I forget them sometimes)
ReplyDeleteBut I have a pasport now without glasses but with a 'mugshot' I think :-(
the answer to my 'what/why????' was: you can take of your glasses if you go through pasport control............
