On the relevance of photographs in passports

The Consular office of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Georgia reminds that the passport photo must be relevant.

This applies especially to children, whose appearance may change significantly since obtaining their passport.

If your appearance does not match your photograph, this may raise doubts among Georgian border police officers and lead to additional identity verification procedures.

In Georgia, significant differences between your appearance and your photograph may lead to delays at the border and, in some cases, to a ban on entry or exit.

To avoid problems with identification when passing through border control at checkpoints across the Georgian state border, it is recommended that if the photograph in your passport is out of date, you renew the document with a new photograph.
