I don't have a scanner, but here's two pictures

1. Me at a ski-resort
2. Me and my fiancee at our graduation

Very different from me in Mumbai, sweating and stumbling with grime caked to my soaking brow.

I had my passport photo's done two days ago. It seems to be universal law that it comes out looking both hideous and criminal. Fingers crossed the actual passport gets approved.

The British passport regulations have been tightened up.

only hideous and criminal photos are accepted

I'm trying to get the State Dept. to use my yahoo avatar as my passport photo, but they're not buying it....

About my passport photo: Everyone says they've seen a better picture on a 'Pirate Flag' It's very strange, but my photos..well..they look like me? How come film stars somehow look different?

Nick-H · Oct 26th, 2007, 16:22

They probably don't in their passport photos!

i was almost told that i could not take the gmat,

."My passport photo" vs "the current me" did make those officials mighty suspicious before the test(my old and new signatures did not do anything positive to mitigate their suspicions).Eventually,i did take it..

@galahad
dude I have the same problem. Passport is 9 years old.
I look nothing like it.
How did you manage the GMAT ?

Dont have a scanner, so a genuine reason to not post my passport

just to let you know - I had had a new haircut (shortest I ever had till then - in 1997) and I went to have my passport pic clicked right after that.

Now I dont know if the parlour woman simply forgot to spray that water thingy to settle my hair down, or did it on purpose cos I asked her to gossip a little less and concentrate on my hair (she was snipping away to glory while turning around every now and then to chat with the other women of all shapes and sizes all over the saloon).

So anyway, since I had already pissed her and all the gossipping women, after the cut, I just paid her and walked out the saloon ignoring the tut-tutting - did not even stop to see how my hair looked).

Well what do you know!! my passport picture - dark circles under my eyes (the dark hour in the parlour I spent fuming quietly must have done it) and hair looking like a mop standing upright - my neck being the mop handle....

Ofcourse my passport expired in March last year (without me ever using it), so I will be getting a new picture done....

I'd post my passport photo on here too, except mine is 9 years old, when I was 10, and now i'm 19 so BIG difference. A.K.A. I looked like an idiot back in the day.(looks at himself in the mirror) O wait I still do
