Passport Photos

When I got French nationality, I spent 6 months growing an impressive old-style moustache just for the ID photo. it's the little things that count.

If one goes with a fake (but not obviously fake) moustache, would they question?

What is your definition of fake - can be pulled off? Not your own hair?

Lots of options here.

What if it's your own hair, but glued back on haha

It doesn't really matter. If you are not recognizable, it's not valid. That is the whole point of a photo-ID the photo has to be a good likeness with you. Glad the GP met friendly people that let him get away with it but don't count on it working for ever :-)

The driver's license is not an ID, though. Besides, at least in Germany you get it and then it never changes. So the photo is pretty much always outdated.

Germany is doing away with the eternal drivers licenses in stages. Better look that up before you loose yours. Wifes license runs out in January next year, eep.

Genuinely asking, how does that qualify as "eep"? Is renewing onerous or expensive in Germany? I ask because in the US, renewing a license is usually cheap and done quickly online, except for about once a decade, they require a new photo (which itself doesn't take too long with an appointment).
