I have found in at least one African country that they wanted to blank pages next to each other! How about how many blank pages you need, even in a valid passport?

(We figured we'd start out with the basics for this blog!) In answer to your question, proof of citizenship has been required for re-entry to the U.S. since January 8, 2007. The new regulations, which for all practical purposes require a passport, go into effect on June 1, 2009. The State Department's <a href="http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html" rel="nofollow">WHTI Initiative page</a> has further details.

Passports have been required for most (say, 95%) of travel outside the US for years. Certainly, if you have tried to go on any cruise that leaves US waters for the past 10 years, you can not even embark on the cruise without a passport. Now as of 1 July (or is it 1 June?) all re-entry to the US requires a passport. What is new about this? Passports have been required for most (say, 95%) of travel outside the US for years.
