Cate's Passport Photo

As some of you might already know, we will be going away soon with the family and the question came up as to whether or not we need to change the picture in Cate's passport since the pic was from when she was 3 months old.

Anyway to cut a long story short, you can't just add a new picture to the passport anymore. You need to just replace the entire passport (and pay $70 for it).

So off I went to get Cate's passport photo taken at Coronation Pl. On hind sight, I should have just done it myself cos they were quite rubbish. I ended up using their camera to take the photo myself. Then I had to pay an additional $3.90 for a soft copy. They also refused to give me more than 1 of the photos on soft copy eventhough it cost them nothing. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, their soft copy was not the correct dimensions for uploading to APPLES (the online passport application site). The whole reason I thought I would pay to have it professionally done was cos I didn't want the hassle of resizing and cropping etc, and as it turned out I had to do it myself anyway otherwise when I uploaded Cate's picture, her face would be squashed cos the dimensions of the original pic were not correct.

ANYWAY! Here it is!!!!

This prompted me to look for Emma's passport pic. This was taken by myself when she was about 18 months.

My girls have such munchkin faces!!!
