Minor's passport photo has little resemblance. Still good for use or needs to be renewed?

You might get a little extra scrutiny when going through immigration control (usually involving a long hard stare at your child, then the picture, then back to your child, repeat a few times until the officer is either convinced or asks a supplementary question), but they aren’t going to refuse you just on the photo.

Yes, this will be accepted by the immigration officer since the passport is valid. They also tend to use other means to confirm the kid’s identity, such as asking him/her what’s their name, and (in some cases) questions like “is this your mommy?” when the kid is old enough.

As a side note, my new passport has a photo which imho has very little resemblance of me. Still went already through like 14 countries with no issues at all.
