Yes I kinda still looked like that poor quality old photo, but still. . .
My nephew got his first passport at age 10. He's 14 now. It will be replaced next year. Meantime, he looks nothing like the little kid in that photo. He has no other state issued ID (unavailable in my state if under 15 years old). I'm traveling with him internationally tomorrow and all I can figure is to bring copies of his last five class photos in case he's questioned about it.
