I would not mention this ever on forums. You could at most have two passports at the same time from the US for reasons you describe, and the paperwork is very specific about surrendering the second the moment you are done with it.
So it is quite likely you were bending the rules, and I would not go around mentioning that. I mean you are talking about identity fraud at the fed level. The paperwork would have reminded you penalties for that are not so fun. I filled out some myself once.
I tried to get the second, not for Yemen but somewhere else not too far away. I told the US Embassy, and they told me to just use the one and it was not worth the subsequent hassle to apply for a second (or third in your case if that is truly possible). The stigma of where I was going was bad, but not enough they said to waste my time with an additional password.
- Mvandenbergh 12y agoI'm not an American and all my passports were legally issued by my government after following the (extremely hassle free and reasonable) application process. The additional passports were valid for two or three years (don't remember exactly), I certainly didn't need to surrender them and in any case I was using them constantly. All I had to do was pay the processing fee and document why I needed them. Admittedly, the third one was harder to get and required an interview but even that was perfunctory. I have heard that most countries are much less eager to give out passports than mine.
- 616c 12y agoSorry, I am an idiot. I thought in context you were indicating you did so with US passports. Ignore my know-it-all attitude.
