The only thing with the American passport application....when the person applied, they assume you will be taking a trip.
I'm looking at an American passport application from 1964. Different time periods will ask for different information. This one asks for approximate date of departure, port of departure, ship or airline, previous trips, business or pleasure, length of stay, countries visited, length of stay, and if you are planning any others. The renewal application was only 3 years later (and cost only $5 in 1967!) It asks if it's an organized tour, port of departure, ship or airline, approximate departure date, number of previous visits in the last 12 months, purpose of trip, length of stay, countries visited, and if you are planning any others. But that doesn't mean that my ancestor in 1964 and 1967 took a trip (although I know she did have one because I have a few photos with dates). I don't have her actual passport booklet either. I wonder what a current passport application says? My dad applied for his first one ever in his life about 3 years ago. He was thinking of going up to Canada. But he still hasn't planned that trip yet. Hmm, I wonder what he wrote on his application?
