We will be going to Norway in August and at that time our daugher will be one.
We do not want to get the passport too soon as she looks different each day.
What is the lastest you can wait to get the passport.
Would 2 months before we go be enough time?
Thanks in advance
Don't wait. Go ahead. Everyone knows that babies grow and change a great deal. They won't expect her to look exactly like her picture.
Toni is correct. Don't wait. Second, minor passports are only good for five years so you will get a chance to change the picture.
Yep, would not wait. From now until she is 5, she will change a lot anyway. They don't much care at passport control if a baby looks like its photo. You would be quite sad if there was a delay in getting it though, so get it now.
ditto on getting it now.
Remember you are going to deal with a Government bureaucracy. The sooner you get the PB the better you can concentrate on your travel plans. I have a 1.5 yr old girl we are getting Hers now. Even though we are not traveling for another 9 months.
Ditto... and... ditto.
Get the passport now.
On a different, but related and possibly important note..... Take extra passport photos with you on the trip. Both ones that were taken at the time the passport was made, as well as ones taken within ~1 week of the trip. Take an original / official copy of her birth certificate. Put those photos and the birth certificate, along with a photocopy of her passport, in a special envelope that you carry seperate from her passport. Call it your 'paranoid parent backup' -- as that kit will let you get a replacement minor temporary passport quickly and easily in the event you lose the original.
James,, OP did not ask about having babys picture look GOOD,, he was concerned that as child ages and changes that the early picture will not portray child accurately and they might have trouble with that at immigration.
I thought your reply was unneccesary,, OP was not being "pretentious".
