Passport

so they cant deny it, they can however trick you into declaring that you are a "Citizen of the United States" or into other presumptions.

TITLE 22 - FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE

Theories are interesting but useless unless implemented. I used to travel to other countries once a year back when I was a U.S. Citizen. I really want to do that again.

I flew to the Rally for the Republic last September with my state Citizenship affidavit which included my picture. I also brought my expired passport just to be safe. I was given "Selectee" status but was still able to catch my flight to and fro without any major incidents.

Honestly, why? I'm not trying to be rude, and I understand the moral reasons, but you don't want to screw around with the documents you need for international travel. If you are just going to the Mexico or something then it won't matter but if you are making a long trip to a country that requires a visa then I highly recommend getting the passport through the State Department. The easiest way is to go to the closest SD passport office with the required documents if you have proof of need. You can get it the same day that way. Otherwise they will ship it to you in a few days.

Do you really want to be stuck at an airport in Africa because the guy at customs doesn't recognize your passport? Do you really want to eat the visa application fees because the outsourcing company for the embassy you are applying to only accepts a "valid U.S. passport with at least six months before it expires".

One of the good things about being an American is that international travel is very easy. I would recommend that you don't make it needlessly difficult unless you only plan on using it for local tourist countries (some of which will just accept your driver's license).

Make sure that you don't connect to a federal franchise or the SSN nexus with any of the identification that you use. Most state IDs are tied to a SSN. I will look to see if I can find a franchise free photo ID that has been used successfully in the past. You attach a passport photo and get it notarized, and it is a self authenticating state issued ID, free from any ties to the SSN or other federal franchise.
