why US passport (and possibly others) mention which state or country passport holder was born in? Who needs that information?
In: Other
Most passports list the holder’s place of birth. The only passport I can think of that doesn’t is the Hong Kong passport, and it took a lawsuit to get them to stop in the 2000s. An HK citizen born in Pakistan kept facing discrimination and harassment at western airports because of his place of birth so he sued the government, and a judge ordered that HK passports could no longer have the holder’s place of birth on them.
