And that you're stuck with that photo for another 10 years - and the next passport photo will be even worse!

I keep putting off renewing mine and I think this is why 😩

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

Put mine off for ages

The real horror is seeing its cover doesn’t entitle you to live love and work anywhere outside the island but your take is funnier. As you were.

I’ve only taken two photos in 40 years thanks to saving those multi copies they used to give.

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

These need to be digital I think

pashtont.bsky.social•195 days ago

Yes Sadly they do now. Ruining my cunning plan for immortality

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

That's why it's taken me months to decide to renew it - the awful realisation that I'd need a photograph.

🤣🤣It's the horror of having to pay for them in one of those god-awful booths with your legs dangling underneath the curtain like they would in a dodgy loo.

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

I took my own, need to delete them all now

Oh, not wishing to rub it in, but I was so happy to see my latest passport photo as I was sending it to Dublin along with my Irish passport application! 😁

I’m due to renew mine in a couple of months and I’m dreading it. My current passport photo is actually really good and I know I’ll never recreate it again. Middle age sucks 😭😭

andycowan.bsky.social•195 days ago

Ah, yes. It's like picking the least disappointing picture from a horror show. A true triumph of mediocrity.

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

"Mediocrity" is a huge overestimation

andycowan.bsky.social•195 days ago

You don’t think it deserves that label?

freebiebean.bsky.social•195 days ago

I think the worst thing is knowing that 10 more years have gone and I’m nearly dead.

Passport pics... The only document in which you are required to look like a convict line up other than an actual convict lineup...

If you look like your passport photo, then you're too ill to travel

catsmother.bsky.social•181 days ago

I took my own but it wasn't accepted online. Had to go to the Post Office and get mug-shotted.
Grim grim grim. My Long Covid face with dark under-eye circles is now immortalised on passport and driving licence for 10 yrs.

A sign years ago in a camera/photo shop said "if you look anything like your passport photo, you're not fit to travel".

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

Spot on 😄

emmacarps.bsky.social•195 days ago

And 10 years acknowledging that 😂

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

😨

reallycantbearsed.bsky.social•195 days ago

Can't be any worse than the one I had when joining the military.

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

That's not bad tbh

kuntieplopkins.bsky.social•195 days ago

My passport ran out may 2023 - not being allowed my liqueur chocolates by the Amazon driver prompted me to renew it so that probably says a lot about me 😂
