Do I need to change my passport photo?

[annapecia]

My current photo is of me with hair. The current situation, however, is that I have no hair. Does anyone know whether I need to change my passport photo? I don't want to jeopardise my chances of getting away on holiday and have ditched the wig so not surprisingly don't look anything like my passport photo!

Hi there,

In my experience you don't need to change your photo. I am the same as you - ditched the wig and am now completely bald with a passport photo where I have a full head of hair. So far it hasn't been an issue. In fact - I once sailed through the automatic passport control at Stanstead while my friend was stopped! Have a wonderful holiday!

Hi Elaine

Thank you! Good to be able to cross it off the very long 'to do' list!!

Me too. I'm wearing a wig in my passport photo and nearly always travel in a scarf. Never once had a problem.

Many thanks - it sounds like I don't need to worry!

My passport picture has me with a full head of hair (old photo!) and I travel in scarves or without. I've not had a problem....so far anyway!

Brilliant, thank you! Just let them try and stop me from going on holiday!!!
