At one month old, The Minnow is officially a dual citizen of both the U.S. and New Zealand. And while the U.S. requires us to jump through a multitude of hoops to certify that she is, indeed, entitled to U.S. citizenship, the NZ process was a walk in the park. The hardest part of it was getting an acceptable photo of her, but once that was done, we had her NZ passport in hand 4 business days later.And of course the NZ passport has a black cover. And of course it has a fern on it.
The official mug shot:
In true passport form, it's not the most flattering photo of her. I read somewhere that if you look like your passport photo, you're not well enough to be traveling. I don't think I'd say hers is quite that bad, but . . .
