List your mother's address 6th months before your birth. This must be a hoax.

Sounds very similar to the form I was required to fill out for an FBI background check. Outrageous to even think of requiring this as a condition of getting a passport. The U.S. Department of State is proposing a new Biographical Questionnaire for passport applicants. The proposed new Form DS-5513 asks for all addresses since birth; lifetime employment history including employers’ and supervisors names, addresses, and telephone numbers; personal details of all siblings; mother’s address one year prior to your birth; any “religious ceremony” around the time of birth; and a variety of other information. According to the proposed form, “failure to provide the information requested may result in … the denial of your U.S. passport application.”
