The time quoted is 4-6 weeks, so it was quite a surprise. You submit your own photo, so my patient husband kept taking until I found one I didn't hate. It arrived today so that's that for ten years.

(4,313 posts)you'll be sighing over that photo and wishing you could re-use it. LOL. I keep my old passports, and I look at the photos and wonder, "Why did I think I looked bad in that? Compared to NOW!"
I wish my younger self knew how great I was back then!

(4,313 posts)It's just the air travel that I find increasingly difficult. The flights are okay-- it's the airports that exhaust me.
Do you have a trip planned for the coming year? I'm hoping to create my own "literary tour" of England.

(111,459 posts)Something that happened to me only because my old passport/documents were lost in a commercial moving incident, and I did not catch it until it was too late to get a replacement without starting over.
But good on you.

(26,123 posts)Luckily, I havent travelled internationally since 2019 so I dont have to look at my ugly picture. Plus, Im afraid to travel internationally because I post here, on Facebook and other social media anti orange turd stuff and Im sure Im on an enemies list somewhere in the magaverse and if I leave I might not be able to get back in.
