The time has come to renew my passport.

This time, I intend to have not some bland, This Is My Face photo on the passport, but one Worthy of Conversation. One that will cause hilarity to ensue on presentation. Still, it must meet certain guidelines.

- My face must be unobscured and viewed from the front.
- The length of my face occupies between 50% and 68% of the height of the frame.
- No one else is in the shot.
- No hats, head coverings, or dark glasses.
- Must be wearing 'normal street attire.'
- Not retouched to change appearance.

Things I don't read this as ruling out:

- Strange facial expressions.
- Make-up or henna.
- Props that don't obscure my face.

What would crack YOU up if you saw it in a passport photo?
Let the games begin.

I don't think you need a passport for Hawaii, but regardless, a quick web search for 'passport' will turn up the relevant link to travel.state.gov. Also, post offices usually carry passport forms. The big thing is to act now. The process is slow. You can speed it up to about a 2 week turnaround if you're willing to shell a lot of extra cash. Otherwise, months of processing are normal.

Hah, mine does too! I usually look like a kind pretty boy but in my passport photo I look like I eat babies for breakfast and slates of crack for lunch.

Also, for routine passport photos, hit up your local Kinkos or AAA.

I've found that, if you're willing to spend time playing with lighting, photoshopping levels, and printing your results on photo paper, you can completely change your skintone and hair & eye color. Once you've got that out of the way, if you keep your facial hair, it's only a matter of choosing the right clothes to achieve lots of effects- Colombian drug-runner, modern-day Genghis Khan (you'd need to work on the eyebrows to get the proper Bill & Ted's…-style Genghis), etc.

Sa can we assume that your profile picture is doctored, and you're actually a bleach-blonde asian?

not to offend baudot but i always thought he allready looked incredibly creepy and morbid in a way.
he sort of looks like he spends a lot of time running around deserted gothic castles holding a candlestick and rubbing his hands together while staring intendly at rain soaked visitors that end up in his castle.

No, but my (expired) passport photo makes me look like an olive-toned person of Latin descent, and my driver's license photo makes me look like one of those OVERLY! FUN! PEOPLE! who work in the tourism industry, which helps get me out of tickets. Another tip: AAA and other places that take passport photos tend to overexpose, so be creative with your brighter-colored clothing.

No offense taken.

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head, except that my castle is a second floor flat in St.Louie and when I cackle, "I need a guinea pig, muahahah!" I'm actually referring to the mammal.

shit, i had my passport photo taken three days ago! i wish i'd thought of this.

then again, the last thing i need is some stupid-looking passport photo to push the Customs guy's thoughts from "he looks ok. neeext." to "he looks odd. where are my disposable gloves?"

i have a crappy photo from when i was sixteen, now im 23 i look nothing like it what so ever, i either get huge laughs or sometimes its been know the odd awwwww aint that cute. cant they see the black nails, long hair and dark clothes in a heat wave...NO ITS NOT CUTE.

as for my renewal it aint up for 5 years so i got a lot of time to come up with summat, but for you i would go for........some sort of sex toy in the shot or somthing like a iraqi flag behind you but that could get you in worse trouble.

Hey, he said he thought makeup was okay, and someone else suggested clown makeup.
