You renew every 5 years? (You get 3 years plus a two year extension?)
If thats true, she had a passport before she gave Birth to our Natioinal nightmare.
Mario Apuzzo’s web site had a good explain/guess:
I believe it was a passport renewal application in 1965, because Obama’s family in Kenya says Stanley Ann (Dunham) Obama was there when Obama was born and government officials in Kenya state Obama was born there. Stanley Ann would have needed a passport in 1961 to get to Kenya and back to the USA. Since the 1965 passport was not in her 2nd marriage name when it was issued 4 months after her marriage to Lolo Soetoro, it is obvious to me she simply renewed her previously issued circa early 1961 original passport which was in either her maiden name or in the name of her first marriage name of Stanley Ann Obama, if issued after Feb 1961 when she is said to have married Barack Hussein Obama Sr.
A good explanation of the passport info (in the middle of the page):
Nope. The original passport in question was issued in 1965, and the pdf posted above is form 1968. Back then, a passport was good for 3 years, and then could be renewed for two years.
If thats true, she had a passport before she gave Birth to our Natioinal nightmare.
The evidence suggests otherwise.
