Just returned from Europe. 

Zero issues entering Germany. Passport control took 2 minutes and concluded with a pleasant “welcome to Germany!”

Departed Paris using the new E-gates passport control system. Again, zero issues. 

Now for the interesting part: arrived into Washington Dulles expecting the usual secondary inspection after they scan my passport. In fact, every single time I’ve returned to the US, they swipe my passport, stare at the screen, and send me to secondary. 

This time around, she swiped my passport and welcomed me home. No secondary for the first time ever. 

No, I don’t have the dreaded passport statement. I do know I have an INTERPOL Green notice as a Mexican immigration official informed of this when I tried entering Cabo.

Hi everyone,

I have a question about applying for a US passport. If one is no longer required to register in their respective state, are they also no longer considered a covered SO under International Meagans Law when it comes to the passport identifier?

No longer a registrant as of 2022. Thank you, Janice! Successfully traveled to Japan and Philippines for business and vacation in January 2026. Passport applied for in 2025 does not have any markers. Zero issues. The ability to move about freely is a wonderful experience.
