My US passport is good for 10 years and I am reaching year 8 with it. I don't look like me anymore and the US Border Protection Agency has told me so--the glasses and beard are a big change.
It is funny how the system "works". I have a Canadian friend in VT who goes back and forth all of the time with his expired for-2-years passport. He's even renewed his visa using it--if he flew, he couldn't get on the plane with an expired passport, but with driving the rules are different.
I don't have my Permanent Resident card yet (any day, I hope), but I was told in no uncertain terms Not To Smile. On the other hand, I was encouraged to smile for my Quebec drivers license.
