The proposed new Form DS-5513 asks for all addresses since birth; lifetime employment history including employers’ and supervisors names, addresses, and telephone numbers; personal details of all siblings; mother’s address one year prior to your birth; any “religious ceremony” around the time of birth; and a variety of other information. According to the proposed form, “failure to provide the information requested may result in … the denial of your U.S. passport application.”
Correction: Should be Questionnaire in title. My apologies for hastily posting.
This sounds like the new form should be tried out on the current occupant of the oval office.
I want our immaculated president to answer before me.
Looks like Obama may need to fill one of these out after Jan 2013. No BC tell us you life story.
Another good reason to stay in the USA and see America.
FTW!
Good grief. I’ve had 7 addresses in the past 10 years (so far). This form is ridiculous.
Working for the DOD and NASA I’ve had a bunch of different Security Clearances.
None of them required me to list any addresses before I was 18.
And this is why it is good to be a dual citizen. There is always a second passport.
Ask the cheeky Kenyan bastard.
P.S.
I have no will or plans to return to the U.S. as beautiful as my country is. It has become too crooked.
Only Mormons will be able to get passports.
If this form is real I can only see one regime. It isn’t pretty.
LOL I’d be able to fill this out.My DM only had two addresses before my birth and I remember where all I’ve lived.I’ve also been a housewife for the past 25+ years.
They can Bloody well go look at my Orange File for the Goverenment Security Clearance and my Military 201 file!
This from an administration that REFUSES to validate the birth certificate of our elected president.
Screw the TRANSPARENT emperor’s new clothes.

Hillary Clinton was in illegal posession of 900 FBI files. Now she wants to dig even deeper into everyone’s background. WHY?
Just monitor those who travel abroad to train with Al Qaeda and monitor those who overstay their travel visas in the US.
All else is an affront to American liberty. “Papers please!”
Who does Obama want to lock inside the USA? Perhaps it is the wealthy, who are now being squeezed if they dare to leave permanently. After the new passport rules, the rich will be pulped if they stay or if they go.
Why in this day and age would someone not have a birth certificate or access to one?
I think someone who can’t prove who they really are should be put through the wringer. These questions are not much different than those of a background check for a law license or security clearance.
What if you already have a passport, but it expired a few years ago? They still want you to go through the STASI interrogation?
This law should be copied by all 50 states for purposes of what someone has to show to be on the presidential ballot — either a true birth certificate or this info in lieu of a true birth certificate.
How can it be easier to run for Prez than to get a U.S. passport?
