posted by i love cheese to Law & Government (6 answers total). I need to know when my passport was issued. I don't have it in front of me, but I do know when it expires. I believe the total length of time it is good for is 10 years.osted by i love cheese to Law & Government (6 answers total). I need to know when my passport was issued.
