When I got home from getting it taken my DH informed me that I shouldn't have. Anyway, i sent it in anyway and got my renewed passport like 2 weeks ago. No one stopped my photo from going through! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-smile-in-my-passport-photo#post-1595489 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 07:57:52 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1595489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The post office took my photo in 2008, and I smiled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-smile-in-my-passport-photo#post-1595478 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 07:42:11 +0000 MrsBrewer 1595478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I smiled in mine!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-smile-in-my-passport-photo#post-1595467 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 07:06:03 +0000 matador84 1595467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm smiling in mine...teeth and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-smile-in-my-passport-photo#post-1595466 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 07:04:00 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1595466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was smiling in mine! i think i got it in 2009. i didn't know it was supposed to be a neutral expression until we got a passport for my LO and my husband told me that i wasn't supposed to be smiling in mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-smile-in-my-passport-photo#post-1595460 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 06:46:47 +0000 mamimami 1595460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm smiling in mine from 2011! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-smile-in-my-passport-photo#post-1595457 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 06:43:39 +0000 Shutterbug 1595457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just had his passport pic taken yesterday at AAA and they said no smiling.

In my last passport I was smiling, so I smiled in the new picture. I went to check the specs on the website &amp; saw that they require a "neutral expression." Anyone get a passport photo taken recently? Will they accept my photo if I'm smiling? </p>
