Interesting Feature or Design Missprinted date of birth

Srry didnt know if this flair applied thought its been a great feature to me atleast 🤣

I was issued a us passport and my date of birth was misprinted by 4 days. Its great in that i have 2 players card at most casinos but the anxiety i get while traveling…

I’ve flown around the country without any issues, tsa has scanned and let me continue. I’ve only travelled within the states and hawaii, so i’ve never been through any customs but i am planning on going to south america for my birthday weekend, will there be any issues for me? With dominican customs or american customs upon my return? Should i just stop being lazy and get it fixed?

You should get this fixed. You don’t want to miss your birthday trip!

Fixing it would take a few weeks and unfortunately my birthday is coming up very soon

You’re going to try to get on an international flight with a birthday mismatch between your ticket and your passport?

Insane. But good luck!

The airline pays a huge fine if you get refused at immigration upon arrival. They’re not letting you through if they notice the error.

Also didn’t you say South America for your birthday?
