Hello,
With the number of people in this forum who have two, three, or even four citizenship, it makes me wonder what do you do with keeping all passports up to date. In a typical family with three or four members it can easily amount to seven or more passports to keep track and pay for.
Some countries have inexpensive passports, but others are quite pricey. Some countries give passports good for 10 years, but others only 5, usually for the same price. Children passports are given for 5 or fewer years depending on the country. With all the expense and time spent on paperwork and pictures, are you deciding to only update the more useful passports, all of them, is cost or paperwork burden deterring you from having all passports current for all members of your family?
In my case, I am inclined to consider all these elements and not keep all passports up to date, unless necessary. I think one can easily survive by just keeping the U.S. passport up to date, although some countries are getting more strict on demanding their citizens to come into the country with that country's passport.
My 2 cents
