I do not have anybody to countersign my photos for a UK passport renewal. Has anybody renewed their passport without photos being countersigned 

 

 

Yes I have several times and most people do not need a countersignature. Only if your appearance has changed and cannot be recognised from the previous photo. It's all explained in the application form.

So if you grow a beard, men only, wear glasses and go bald, you may need a signature. 

But how does facial recognition technology work. They can pick a face out of a football or riot crowd.

   Peoples faces can change a lot in ten years and those changes may cause the facial recognition apparatus not to work

Yes, totally agree, so that's why I asked the question.

A bit silly that a baby needs a passport, and it is valid for 5 years, using the same photo.

I think they use the eyes mostly for childrens passport recognition
