But that is what the "pages" are for in a passport: "To be STAMPED" on.
Hypothetical futuristic possibility:
Now, on the other hand, sooner or later, as the electronic world comes to our lives, we should not have passport books with pages (this will become obsolete as stamping is almost obsolete) but just a "passport card" with a magnetic strip or chip in it that will have all the information, visa, port of entry and exit dates that will show on the officers' monitors when your "passport card" is swiped....
