[Mishmash] New Passport Photo

[Ingrid & Eric Holzman]

Yep.  Passports for international travel that are given to children are only good for 5 years and they pay the full fee.  It's a ripoff!  I'm surprised that your fee is only $67.  I could swear we paid more when Eric and I renewed ours 3 years ago.

      Currently, a passport is good for ten years.  The one I have that expires on April 7, 2007 and was issued on April 7, 1997.  

      My renewal fee is sixty-seven dollars.  

      Are we talking about the same passport?  

      Regards,

    Great picture, Fred. 

    My daughter needs to get her passport renewed.  I find the whole process of renewal for children very mind boggling.  When we got her initial passport, as with anyone getting one, you present a birth certificate.  Well, even when we renew the passport, I have to present her birth certificate because her present passport is not enough to identify her.  Okay....her face has changed some, but you can definitely see that it's the same child.  I also find it sinful that it costs $82 for her passport which will only last 5 years.  It's no wonder a family of 5 may have a hard time paying for a passport.

      Folks, 

          I had to get a new passport photo made today.  I thought it turned out really well.  So I scanned it and I put it up where you could see it.  

          Tell me what you think about it: http://www.mishmash.com/freds_pic/
