美国国务院提议将护照统一为38页单一规格
发布日期 2026年4月20日
美国国务院宣布计划将目前发行的26页和50页两种护照本统一为38页单一规格,该变化将随下一代护照改版推出,预计在2028年左右实施。目前这只是一项提案,尚未定案或生效,正在征求公众意见。
要点
- 美国护照目前分为26页和50页两种规格发放。
- 国务院计划在下一代系列B护照改版时,将护照统一为38页,预计2028年推出。
- 12页的应急护照不受此次调整影响。
- 约92%的申请人目前领取26页护照,新规格将为他们提供更多签证页面。
- 常年出国旅行者、居住海外的美国公民以及领取特别签发护照的人士目前多使用50页护照,未来取消该选项后可能需要更频繁更换护照。
- 此项变更仍处于提案阶段,公众可在2026年6月22日前提交意见。

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
目前,新一代护照(NGP)有26页本和50页本两种尺寸。此前,传统电子护照有28页本和52页本两种尺寸。美国护照B系列正在进行改版,预计于2028年推出,届时将改为单一尺寸的38页护照本。除紧急护照仍保持12页本不变外,所有护照本类型均将发生变化。
Currently, the Next Generation Passport (NGP) is available in 26-page and 50-page book sizes. Previously, the legacy ePassport was available in a 28-page and 52-page book. The U.S passport Series B is being redesigned for an anticipated rollout in 2028, and this will include a shift to a single-sized book with 38 pages. All passport book types will change with the exception of the Emergency Passport, which will remain a 12-page book.
2024年,国务院就改用单一尺寸护照本的影响开展了一项可行性研究。研究结果表明,38页护照本将提高美国政府出版局(GPO)护照制作过程以及美国国务院签发流程中的效率,并减少浪费。平均而言,92%申请护照本的客户要求领取26页本。在领取50页本的8%客户中,多数是由于按照政策惯例向特殊签发对象及海外申请人签发50页本。换言之,虽然在50页本选项取消后,部分经常出国旅行人士、居住在海外的美国公民以及特殊签发护照持有人将需要更频繁地更新护照,但国务院预计此类申请人仅占全部护照申请人的一小部分。改为单一尺寸的38页护照本将为大多数申请人提供更多签证页面。国务院计划对其在线护照更新(OPR)平台进行改进,使海外申请人能够在线更新护照,预计这也将为此类客户带来新的效率提升,并可能减轻这一负担。
In 2024, a feasibility study was conducted on the impacts of moving to a single sized passport book. The results of the study determined a 38-page book would increase efficiencies and reduce waste within the production of the passport at the Government Publishing Office (GPO) and within the issuance process at the U.S. Department of State. On average, 92 percent of customers applying for a passport book request the 26-page book. Of the 8 percent of customers receiving the 50-page book, most do so due to a policy practice to issue 50-page books to special-issuance and overseas applicants. In other words, while some frequent international travelers, U.S. citizens residing abroad, and special-issuance passport holders will need to renew more frequently once the 50-page option becomes unavailable, the Department expects those applicants to make up a small percentage of all passport applicants. Switching to a single-sized, 38-page book will allow more visa pages for the majority of applicants. Planned enhancements to the Department's Online Passport Renewal (OPR) platform that will allow overseas applicants to renew their passports online are also expected to introduce new efficiencies for those customers and may mitigate this burden.
国务院就取消50页本选项可能带来的负担,征求利益相关方的意见。国务院对所有反馈意见表示赞赏和重视,并将对收到的意见予以适当考虑。但是,目前国务院不计划在《联邦公报》上对相关意见作出回应。
The Department seeks input from stakeholders on the potential burdens of eliminating the 50-page book as an option. The Department appreciates and values all feedback and will give due consideration to the comments received. However, at this time, the Department does not plan to respond to the comments in the Federal Register .
