This is a really interesting video, especially since most people (passport gurus excluded) are only familiar with their own passport (usually only one).

Glad to know you enjoyed it!

Place of Birth is a huge source of discrimination at some ports of entry.

Yes

Good tip. I knew that this option existed, but I never thought about using it. I'll use it next renewal, which is pretty soon.

You are the best of the best…as usually:)

This is the only channel talking about this, excellent job.

I have mistake about my place of birth I don't know if I can travel with it?

Tbf I think especially now for Russians and Belarusians now this a big pain even if they hold another passport like the British one if the passport says born in Minsk or Moscow they will have problems getting a visa

Well you'd need to be Canadian first before getting a Canadian passport. But if you hold a Canadian passport then, yes, you'd Canadian.

Lucky for me a Japanese passport does not have place of birth on it so I could be born in any country in the world and no other country or bank would know.

Lithuanian passports just mention the country. In my case it's LIETUVA.

You can write down your birthplace from your new Korean passport.

For example, if the birthplace is Yongin city, Gyeonggi province, the birthplace is written as gyonggi-do yongin-si on the passport.

I think the countries that doesn’t show the birthplace is cause immigration there is super difficult, so it wouldn’t matter as much Some have said one’s birthplace is shown to add better identity security for the individual, but idk. There are enough countries where they will make a fuss about why the place of brith has been left blank on a passport. So while e.g Japanese passport doesn’t have it and yet are a powerful passport? Border security prob won’t care cause it was never an option in the first place With a Canadian passport however, it is an option and I doubt where it says “place of birth” would also be removed, it would just be there but unanswered

Probably, since, example, if you're born in Iran, you can't go to the US without a visa despite your country being a VWP country.

I'm being super pedantic here but Canada Isnt a VWP country. What you said still obviously applies to VWP passports that allow you to remove your place of birth, you're right there.

@@matthewsmith908 yeah, Canada is an exception. They allow Iranian Canadians to enter regardless, while they don't allow Iranians that became German citizens to use the VWP! Like, Iranians that settled and got German citizenship needed to apply for a visa to enter the US if they still hold Iranian citizenship!

I think racial identifier can be useful in some cases. For example, in solving a crimes. If you want the public to assist in solving crimes committed by a person of purple hue, you don't omit the biggest identifier...that he is of a purple hue. Sorry, no offence to people of purple hue.
