Apparently I’m receiving my new passport this week, the holiday was in April. Seems being born here isn’t enough to secure one. The hoops I had to jump through were ridiculous.

Tbf apart from the wait, the process was pretty easy. Filled everything in online, got my mate to take a photo (yea I look like a criminal in the photo), paid and had to spend the next 3 months stuck here for other reasons

If you'd had a big cushion you could have used a photo booth and linked the image to your application form. That would have saved time.

The photo was attached to the application, no cushions involved or needed to be… we digress

I don't take anything for granted regards passport photos. A few months ago I got a call from some friends; the subject of the  photo is a world champion equestrian 3 day event manager. The photographer is in charge of loading the warheads on nuclear subs. Between them they had spent 2 hours unsuccessfully trying to get a passport photo. 

I thought a cushion would have helped.
