Roughly only about 35% of Americans have passports

[gizmo42]

What about you?  Do you have one?  For some reason I thought more people had one.  I'm on my second one.

No I don't have a passport because I don't travel that much plus I am not planning on traveling outside the US

[linderlizzie]

I have one because I traveled to Costa Rica for my senior project.

I have not used it since so it's probably out of date now.  If I need one in the future, I'll get another one, or just renew it; however they do it.

I do have a passport.  I got one in 2007 because my daughter and I went on a cruise.  We have been on 2 more since then.

I'm actually a little surprised it is that high.

I will be getting mine soon as I'm planning trips to Germany and Cancun.  Here recently I have taken up traveling as a hobby.

I no longer have one, used to have one back when I was married to my first husband and he was in the US Air Force.  I turned it in when he retired.  After my daughter is on her own I will probably get another one, so in case I get a chance to travel, I will be all set.

No, I do not have a passport and I have never had one. I may get one eventually. But, at the moment I do not have any plans of traveling to another country.

[renee10]

I've never had one. I have never traveled outiside the US and won't any time in the future.

I think it's around half of Americans are actually close to or under the poverty line which doesn't really leave much money for the international travel that passport would be required.

I don't have one but I also don't have the money to go anywhere that would need one. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford to go places and I'll get one.

I have one that is expiring this year.  I'm planning to get it renewed.  I use it every few years when I take a cruise vacation with friends or family.  I found cruises are some of the most economical vacations, particularly when you can catch deals when they are trying to fill up the ship last second.

[countrygirl12]

Why would you think it would be higher?  Why do you need one if you have NO plans to travel abroad?  I have NO intentions of leaving the country so I don't need a passport.

[jcalexis]

I am one of the 65% of the Americans who do not have a passport.

[gizmo42]

I am one of the 65% of the Americans who do not have a passport.

So am I

[myles26]

I do have a passport i traveled to Mexico about three years ago for my cousins wedding that is the only time I have been out of the country.
