Anne, I do mine every 3 years as well. For age 73 and 76 the renewal notice had "No photo required" stamped across the top, but for the most recent one, age 79, it said I had to send a new photo. |

No glasses or expression, poker faced, you look like a zombie. But, as Rollo has pointed out, that is the way they want it for automatic facial data recognition. |

Hubby had left re-newing his passport a little late so we had to go to Peterborough to get it done in time for our holiday. |

We cannot use any photo except one taken by a commercial photographer ....... one of the 2 photos submitted has to have a stamp on the back verifying where and when it was taken. |

I don't think they worry about driving licence photos - just need to be recognisable as you. It's the new rules for passport photos that are the problem. Professionals will tell you to remove your glasses, and the instructions in the booths have been updated - at least, ours has. |
