In Europe...Everybody has a passport. It's my understanding..and I may be incorrect about this...That to travel between European countries that you need a passport. In the U.S....We do not need a passport to travel between states. I know a lot of people who have never even been out of their home states. Going to Mexico, the Caribbean, or Canada does not ever require a passport.

there's difference between Passports and ID Cards. You don't need a Passport as long as you don't leave the European Union - within that an ID Card is sufficient.
in Germany I would say maybe 40 - 50% have a Passport. but since the eastern European countries didn't belong to the European Union until last year within the younger people there who travel Passports are very common.
