No idea which are to post this, so I put it here cuz........

Maybe a silly question, but has anyone traveled with their old passport photo after losing a lot of weight?

I'm flying to Vegas on Monday and it just occurred to me yesterday that I don't resemble my passport photo at all anymore. Here's hoping I can clear customs =)

    That is a tough one. I know when I got my passport, I was told if I changed my hair color I would have to get a new one. I'm not sure how strictly the stick to that. I've lost 40 lbs since I had mine done and I think it's still a valid ID.

    It would really depend how much weight you lost and where you carried most of your weight. Some people's faces don't change a lot and some people look dramatically different. It probably also depends on the customs agent you get too. Good luck!

    Ohhhhh! That's a good question! I don't know how hard it is to update your photo, but if you don't get a chance to before you leave...Good luck! XD

    Hey, thanks for reminding me. Let's hope. My passport was when I was right before my biggest size I've been and even now, my face looks the same but so different at the same time.

    Haha I'm so glad you posted this 'cuz I wouldn't of even thought about double checking my passport photo! I haven't used it since my japan trip years ago. It's not expired yet but wonder if I should get a new one anyway before ireland ! I'm not even halfway to my goal weight so it seems a shame/waste of $$$ to get a new one just yet.
