My boyfriend got his current passport on his 17th birthday. Now on the verge of his 27th year, the picture inside barely resembles him. He changed and grew as stamps were added, but his passport photo remained the same. His shaggy, teenage hair has morphed into a more clean cut look, and these days his face is looking a little less tan and a little more grown up. But somehow, customs agents ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Aug 19th, 2009 at 12:00PM: A group of 23 Chinese women became stranded at the border of their own country when they tried to return home from a "cosmetic surgery vacation".

They aren't just used for your passport; you need them for visas, international driver's licences and other random forms of identification. I remember when I studied abroad in France I had to supply 15 passport photos for all kinds of different paper work and ID cards. The problem is, they don't run cheap. ...Ugly Passport Photos
Jul 3rd, 2006 at 4:35PM: Having recently taken one of the most GAWD awful passport photos in my entire life for my Tajikistan visa application, I could totally sympathize with the author of this SFGate.com piece.
