Childs password - when do you change the picture?

Hi

My son has a 5 year passport. Hes now 3 and the picture in his passport is his baby picture - no likeness.

As we are off in 4 weeks, I wondered if we have to change it. Mind you, never got queried last year when we went to France, which is where we are going this year.

Thanks

Scott

    You change the photo when you renew the passport.

    We've just had to do it for our nearly 5 year old.

    Until we renewed, we'd never had a problem travelling with a little man & his baby photo.

    Same here. My DD's photo was taken when she was 3months old she's now 4 yrs olds but it's ok...you will only need to change it when the expiry date comes... I think in little ones cases they prob look more at the names...
