I know that you used to be able to use your active duty military ID as a passport. Has this changed with all of the new passport laws???

When I got orders to Japan, no passport was required to enter the country, just an ID card and orders. When going on leave to another country, a passport was needed to get in to that country. Things may have changed since then, this was over 10 years ago.

Also to add...we need to have a SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) with the country...there are only a few countries that you can use your ID on Official Business...Korea, Germany, Italy and a few others, but you have to check in with the Military "Customs"...if you have to go to another country on Official Business, the Government will give you a different Passport... I think it is green or red...it is not blue like the regular ones...

if you are in the military and you have orders with you you can use it to go to a foregin country with only your id however if no orders to be in go to a foreign country then they wont let you go
there is a military passport provided by the government that can only be used for goverment travel and for visas to that country
i have to have 2 passports one the military with my visa stamp in it and another one to be a tourist on
my husband and i are stationed in germany he cant go to other foregn countries with out a passport he is stuck here till he gets one he can go home to the states and come back here but he cannot go see anyother parts of europe for vacation wise

You can if you are traveling with orders (military leave or PCS orders). If you are a spouse of a military member, you have to use your passport whenever you travel.
For military members-if you aren't, then you will have to use your passport to travel.

Generally you cannot anymore. Once you are in the country and have orders, you dont need to carry it, but you usually have to have it to get in a country.
They prefer you have a tourist passport, but will give an official passaport if needed.

Again, it varies according to the country you're going to!
