In reply to the discussion: "Do you have a New Mexico passport?" [View all]PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,839 posts)20. I live in New Mexico, and our state magazine
has a feature called "One of Our Fifty is Missing" with these tales every single month.
It's never happened to me, but if it did (someone thinking I don't live in the United States because I live in New Mexico) I'd laugh in their face, find a map, and ask them to see exactly what keeps Arizona and Texas from crashing into each other.
I do happen to carry my passport card with me all the time, although there are people out there who think anyone can get a U.S. passport just by asking for one.
