Should I update the photo in the current passport if my/ my child's facial appearance has changed?
Regardless of age, you should apply for a new passport with an updated photo if your facial appearance has changed significantly. This will help to facilitate immigration clearance and avoid any misunderstandings over the identity of the passport holder at any checkpoint. The prevailing application fee for a new passport applies.
