Re: Which US passport to apply for? Passport card?
I'd get the big passport, 28 pages, what that? 14 spreads? That's less than 11/2 of those big visa stamps per year. (Lots of Asia is a page for visa and at least another for in and out stamps) Although US passports used to allow extra pages to be added. Dont know if they still do that.

Only you know if you need extra pages for visas and stamps. I have only ever had one visa in my life, and had about ten stamps (entering the US) on my British passport. My US passport has two entry stamps. I can't imagine traveling enough to use even half the pages in my standard US passport.

FWIW I travelled extensively worldwide for many years and never needed a large passport.

When I renewed it I again only got the 28 page version and after 8 years it has hardly any stamps and no visas in it. (When I travel to and within Europe I use my British passport)

I appreciate all your responses. Finally, I went for the standard 28 page. I justify it by also having my UK passport which I am planning to use more frequently.
But still not sure if I made the right decision why do they even give us this choice?

Oh boy, if you agonize so much over a trifling thing like this, I daren't think what you do when confronted with a really important decision!

so they could be giving out 50pages as a standard, or is just because the paper is so expensive?
