If you thought having your passport photos taken was daunting, think again. Finding someone to verify your passport photos can be a difficult task but with all the facts at your fingertips you shouldn’t have too many problems.<\/p>\n
Does my passport photo need verifying?<\/p>\n
If you’re applying for a first adult or child passport or a renewal for a child under the age of 11 you’ll need to have your passport photo signed and verified. This also applies if you need a replacement passport or your photo has changed beyond all recognition.<\/p>\n
If this is the case you need your photo countersigned by a professional person who should write \u2018I certify that this is a true likeness of [title and full name of adult or child who is getting the passport]\u2019 on the back along with their signature. <\/p>\n
