“Place of birth was first added to the U.S. passport designed in 1917. An October 4, 1963 staff study by the Passport Office on ‘Place of Birth’ information in the United States Passport reflects ‘the passport used during World War I was the first in which including the place of birth of the passport holder was mandatory as part of the identification of the bearer, probably was a wartime travel control measure. The item was included in all subsequent revisions of the passport format, down to and including the present issuances.'”
