They always look so crestfallen when I point out the extension. At first, I tried having the conversation about whether an expiration date makes a difference, since I'm still the same person, but I've discovered that most don't speak (or pretend not to speak) English, so I just dropped that part.

What country extends the validity of a passport?

As an aside, I have a similar situation where I always had to take my IL-DL "out," even before the latest development, because it is renewed on the reverse side for an additional four years.
