  I don’t know… A LOT of people I know got their passports over the past year or so. Many of them have zero intentions of traveling abroad.

  So it could be that high… still 50% seems but plausible if people are doing what a lot of the people I know are doing

  I did a search on it. You get different numbers. Some sources say 45% to 50%.

    Are those numbers for passports only, or do they include “passport cards” which are only good for Canada and Mexico?

      Also only good for ground travel. But you have to go through the same process as a passport, so they’re usually an add on to the passport.

      So those not also verify citizenship?

        They do. For all intents and purposes they are a passport with severely restricted international travel limitations.
