I'm sure most of you know what passports are, hell, most of you probably have passports. But here a few things you might not know about that all important travel document...
(the old passport that'll be phased out by 2017)
- Passports are good for 10 years
- In 2007, the Department of State issued 18,382,798 passports
- American passports had green covers from 1941 until 1976
- It takes about 6 weeks to renew one
- It current cost $135 for a passport

the cool computer chip)

Now they have passports cards instead of the book if you're going to just travel back and forth to Canada, Mexico and a few local other countries. (don't try to fly to Europe on one) Your first passport card will cost $45 if you are an adult, $35 for the kids. Since 2008 over 1,000,000 of these suckers have been printed off and sent. At the moment you can't expedite the time of 1-3 months it'll take you to get one but whatever, they're still kinda cool. To get the scoop go here: Official Passport Card.
So if you plan on going anywhere further than your own backyard these days you'll need a nice updated, not newer than 6 months (in some cases) and not about to expire passport. Not to mention, they're kind of a cool travel memorabilia.
