If you've seen the lines outside you local passport agency, you'll realize that yes, the new passport rules are affecting a lot of people, although not necessarily for travel reasons only.

 WASHINGTON - The price of a passport: $311,491 in back child support payments for a U.S. businessman now living in China; $46,000 for a musician seeking to perform overseas, and $45,849 for a man planning a Dominican Republic vacation.

The new passport requirements that have complicated travel this summer also have uncovered untold numbers of child support scofflaws and forced them to pay millions.

The State Department denies passports to noncustodial parents who owe more than $2,500 in child support. Once the parents make good on their debts, they can reapply for passports.

There you go, once you need that passport again, you put up on the grid.
