US President Barack Obama is one of the busiest people in the world with frequent trips to many countries around the world. Whether the US president has a passport or not and whether he must carry his passport when traveling abroad is a question of many people.

To answer the above question, the White House in 2010 posted a video, in which tPresident Obama's personal secretary at that time was Katie Johnson.explains the process of applying for and using President Obama's passport, according to the Washington Post.

According to Johnson, the US president will certainly still have a passport like any other US citizen. In fact, the first thing she did as Obama’s personal secretary was fill out the application for a new passport after he became president. The form had a blank space asking for the person’s job title, and it was too small to include the US president’s title, she said.

With Mr. Obama's constant trips, this passport is also filled with visas and entry and exit stamps of the countries he visits.

However, Mr. Obama does not keep this passport. Instead, the White House staff keeps it in a safe located in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. President Obama's passport is shared with the passports of other White House staff.

According to the Washington Post, images of the passports of US President Obama and 30 other world leaders were leaked in 2014 when these leaders attended the G20 Summit in Brisbane, Australia.
