Adding Passport Pages- 03.01.11
It’s back! I felt so free again this morning when my passport came back. There’s something about not having a passport on hand that feels like being trapped… albeit trapped in a HUGE country. On fun firsts, i finally reached the point where i had to add passport pages. One of the silly things i have been curious about since i was a kid, it now looks a bit frankensteined with completely different pages sewn and taped into the center! So, of course i had to take some pics to share the details of how it turned out! Take a peek on the next page… they even had some fun with the quotes and graphics!
New pages are even a little smaller!
I loved the design of the old pages, with the state seals covering them subtly…
The supplementary pages announce themselves in a few languages and with an official seal…
Each page has an alphabet instead of a page number… and colorful scenes of America adorn them with quotes up top…
Like this one “It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.” John Paul Jones
They got cheeky with this one ~ in the very center they sew the extra pages into the actual passport… and the quote reads “A big iron needle stitching the country together.” Jessamyn West… with the railroad tracks running through as well…
Official info inside with another seal…
And the end of the new section ~ page X ~ is taped to the old one!
Now unless i can fill these all before 2013, i don’t know whether i can see what an additional add on would look like…. how big can these things get?!?!?!
One of my friend has an passport endowed 3 times pages,each time 24 pages,so 24*4=96 pages…Amazing,it seems like
An dictionary,when he pull out of his pocket on airplane,people seat next to him ask: are you carry on an Bible? :)
Actually the biggest passport(without add pages) is the passport issued by Singapore,Non-biometric passport with 98 pages.
