Passport Book

Fee passport books are blue and alternately referred to as "regular" or "tourist" passports. These books are normally valid for 10 years, when issued to persons 16 and older, or five years, when issued to those under 16. Validity may be limited, however, if the applicant cannot provide sufficient documentation, has a history of lost/stolen passports, or is indebted to the U.S. government.
