Interesting. I was considering applying for my new Norwegian passport in Norway because they now cost twice as much at embassies/consulates. That didn't work out due to travel timing. But I hadn't considered that it might also have made sense to apply for my US passport in Norway.
I'll keep this in mind for the renewal, assuming things don't change drastically by 2031. :-)
