In what country do you live?

Some countries have passports that expire every five years, e.g, your 2003 passport expired in 2008.

Some of those countries have a "simplified" passport application system, if your passport is about to expire, or even if it has expired less than 12 months ago.

Other countries have no "renewal" system -- you start all over again, from "square-one", to get a new passport.

So, in what country do you have citizenship?
Are you currently living in that country?
