do my kids need new passport photos?

This isn’t really the kind of question I’d ask Cecil, but I can’t find the information on the web.

I don’t live in America, but I have American citizenship and so do my kids. I got passports for my kids a few years ago, but now they look quite different. Their passports are still valid. Do I need to get them new photos or new passports? I couldn’t find anything about this on the State Dept site.

This might be useful to you:

It indicates that if the child is under 16, and the photo is older than five years, you need to get him/her a new one.
