It’s an odd request I know but I am looking for someone that could possibly grab their passport and scan it for me. I’m looking for a high quality scan of a US passport open showing two blank pages. There should be no personally identifiable information whatsoever. I have been looking through google images but have been unable to find a picture that meets my criteria. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!

What do you want it for, exactly?

Yeah, that’s the kind of question that gets the FBI knocking at your door . . . 🙂

I guess I should have mentioned that! I’m making a family web page and want to do some photoshopping to make it look like it has an entry from Austria. Ideally I was looking for a stamped passport with an Austrian entry in it but I decided to look for something a little more easy to find. Unfortunately my passport is at home 160 miles away and I don’t have access to it.

So I guess I should mention that it would be used on our personal family website. Let me know if you’d want some sort of mention regarding the use of your scanned image.

I think I just realized that **Thalion**. 🙂 At first I thought the request was a little odd but I’m hoping it’s not too out there. There are plenty of pictures of scanned passports online but nothing in relatively good quality without previous stampings. I guess that’s what makes it a little more wierd. I assure you I’d only use it for this website and I would even be willing to share the link if anyone asked.

While none of [these](http://www.policyofliberty.net/documents.php) seem to be completely blank, it seems like it wouldn’t be too tough to clean one up for your purposes.

I’m sorry, but I can’t allow this request.
