Child's Passport Photo

[Lawnmower]

I'm looking at getting a British passport sorted for a newly born. I note on the embassy web-site that children's passports are valid for 5 years. Does the photo have to be updated at any stage during the five years ?

Thanks.

From the UKPA website:-

We fully appreciate that the appearance of a baby changes very rapidly, but many parents have always elected for their child to have a separate passport. These have been successfully issued to babies and young children for many years without encountering any problems about the child's identity or appearance. However, you can if you wish, change the photograph during the 5 year life of the passport, although this is not necessary.
