The US State Dept will allow you to list your "city of birth" as place of birth in US passport.
(only for those who were born
outside of the USA)
For example, if you were born in Paris, France, you can request that your US passport be listed as
"Place of Birth: Paris" instead of the usual
"Place of Birth: France" ..........
The State Dept's Foreign Affairs Manual clearly states how this can be requested by the passport
applicant. See
"7 FAM 1300 Appendix D" under US Dept of State Foreign Affairs Manual
Volume 7 - Consular Affair. .
However, the passport agency will always advise you that you "may" encounter difficulties trying
to enter a foreign country with a US passport showing "city of birth" as place of birth... This
seems strange to me, as almost all other foreign passports list "city of birth" as place of birth.
The US is one of the very few country that lists the "country of birth" as place of birth.
Has anyone here ever done this? If so, have you ever encountered any difficulties entering any
foreign country with a US passport that shows "city of birth" as place of birth?
