Interesting US Passport Statistics...

Why renew when it is full, you could just get pages added? Wow, what a dumb idea. A passport is nothing than a booklet printed on good paper with a nice cover. It makes no sense what so ever to take it part, add pages, and staple it back together again when you could simply give the person a nice new one. Well, the cost to add pages is 0. Renewal is substantially more. Sure, if you want to pay for a new one, they will let you pay for a new one. If you simply need pages, there is no need to pay for a new one. Why is this a dumb idea if it saves people money? US DOS has been doing it for many years. Never heard of it before, haven't traveled abroad enough to need it. So they just tape new ones in? You'd think that would raise concerns about forging the extra ones. |

The forging would have to include the DOS seal. |
