Elisa Graceffo on 12 Jun 15Find out how places of birth are listed on US passports of travelers born in or outside the United States with example of the recent Jerusalem passport case. In this case, a 12 year old boy Menachem born to a US citizen mother named Naomi Zivotofsky sought to have his place of birth be listed as "Israel" on his US passport.
