Can I get a passport without a SSN?

Forget the SSN, I'm wondering how I can post on this forum without a username. Quit tracking my every movement Randi! :mad:

Er....is that not the point of a passport?

Yes, but within the context of foreign travel and, I suppose more importantly, returning from foreign travel. Which raises the question, why would Free Staters and tax protestors want to travel outside of the U.S.?

Yes! I have a passport and did not provide a ss#. If you read the application, on the back of the last page it states that. the IRS will fine you $500 for failure to disclose the number. The clerk claimed that I need to fill it out. I ended up speaking to a supervisor who pointed to the penalty clause. My response was "no problem, the IRS can fine me $500. I can afford it. Please tell them to send me a bill and in the meantime, process my application. Six weeks later I received my passport. I will say that a friend went with me and turned in their app at the same time. They did disclose and got the goods in two weeks so be prepared for a delay.

There is no law which requires you to have one so there can be no law which requires you to disclose what you're not required to have. No word from the IRS 5 years and one passport renewal later (I did not include a ss# on the renewal app either).

“If you read the application, on the back of the last page it states that. the IRS will fine you $500 for failure to disclose the number.”

Indeed, for tax purposes only; not for passports!

5 years?? My passport is good for 10 years. Did you get a cheapo passport or are you making this up?

Look, I'm all for giving the government as little info as possible but this just doesn't make any sense. They already know your #.



PS. I can't believe some people think the # is assigned at birth. Wow.
 
Don't you all get it....your assignement to the re-education camps is dependent upon your SSN# and your passport. If they don't have a SSN# on the passport, they won't know which camp you are assigned to.
 
Well, if spending about 375:00 bucks more then you have to for a Passport just so you don't have to give you SSN gives you your jollies, then I guess you have a right to waste your own money......

Is it variable depending upon age? I got my first passport in 1987 when I was 17. It expired in 1994. By my count that is 7 years, not 5. When I renewed it, I was over 18 so the renewal was for 10 years.

I want to say I was 16-17 when I first got mine and I thought it was 7 years too. Maybe it is a sliding scale.

Maybe things used to be different, but I got my first passport at 16-17 and it was 5 years then (mid '80s). The rules now are 10 for adults, 5 for minors:

Thanks for the link. It must have changed after I got mine (1987) because I know mine was good until 1994. I used the same passport to go back to Spain in 1992 for the Olympics and when I checked it, it was still good for another two years.
 
The Federal government assigns SSNs to people.

The Federal government also administers passports.

So...what, exactly, is the point of not putting your SSN on a Federal form again? To keep them from finding out what your SSN is...?
