This woman has the worst passport photo ever

Unless you’re a Calvin Klein model, odds are you’ve had a shocking passport photo or two in the past. But no matter how cringe-worthy those might have been, we think this latest one from 27-year-old Chelsey Ramos takes the cake.

The Texan, who was planning a trip to Germany, provided the following photograph to the US State Department as part of her application to renew her passport:

And while she looks nice in that photograph, the image that appears on her passport is anything but:

Ramos was reportedly furious when she noticed the blunder, which evokes images of the 1993 movie Coneheads, but her boyfriend Reece Lagunas saw the funny side.

“I ran in to see what was the matter and just started laughing,” Lagunas told Buzzfeed. “Uncontrollable giggling.”

Thankfully Ramos had time to send her passport back and has since received a new one with the lovely original photo and her head in proportion.
