When you need a passport fast...
Do I need new passport photo because my hair is dyed and longer?
Question: My hair was white and very short on my passport photo. Now it is longer and dyed brown. Do I need a new photo?
Answer: You may get some second glances from the agents who examine your passport but there is no need to apply for a new passport because you dyed your hair and let it grow longer. Validity for a passport issued to an adult is 10 years. People can change quite a bit in that amount of time, both naturally and intentionally.
