This is the Checkpoints and Borders Policy Debateforum, the place to discuss issues affecting travel safety and security.

While some natural deviation from the subject of the thread is fine, please keep the focus of the discussion on the more secure version of the US passport, not speculation about an increase in passport fees unless those are directly related to the issuance of Next Generation Passport. You are welcome to start a new thread about passport fees going up in TravelBuzz or the USA forums, where such topics have historically been discussed.

Future posts which have nothing to do with the next generation of the US passport will be summarily deleted without further notice.

Thank you for understanding,
