All of my different identification documents always had me shaved as that is how I was daily. Ever since COVID, I have grown and kept a beard and plan to keep it as I hated shaving so I am taking any new pictures with how I expect to be; with a beard. However I really don’t think it matters that much as if really got down to identifying a person, digital fingerprints can be taken to instantly identify them.

I read somewhere a long time ago that if the reference is shaved, then it's easy to recognize the person with a beard but if the reference is bearded, then it's more difficult to recognize the person shaved.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I'm clean-shaven in my passport photo. I had a beard when we went to Turkey and Portugal last year. Zero issues with that. The only question I got was when we were leaving Portugal the guy flipped past our entrance stamp and didn't see it. I told him we'd definitely entered through the same airport, and he flipped back through and found it.
