My current American passport was issued in 2021, and it’s still practically naked—I think it has just fourteen or fifteen stamps in it so far. I’ve traveled with it many dozens of times, but I was based in, and mostly traveling within, Europe for the last six years, and so have passed through almost no passport control points. I’ve got a few Turkish stamps, a few EU/Schengen area re-entry stamps (from CDG, ZRH, BSL, and AMS, maybe one or two others), and two Irish stamps like the one pictured here—I thought it was classy and rather old-fashioned of them to take up half a page. The UK used an oversized entry stamp for a while, too, but sometime just before I got this passport they’d replaced it with electronic gates.Heading back to Asia for the first time in some years in the spring, so I look forward to filling a bit more space. My previous passport was just about full.
