I only have my current passport.  My parents might have one or two of their old passports, but for the last few, we have had to surrender our old ones.  Or at least they were never returned to us.

mustfocus,

That's very strange!! There maybe Visa's in the old passport that are still valid. Normally they always send the old passport back with the new one for that very reason. In UK they chop a corner off the old passport.

Just think about it for a minute, .... if your Residency permit for China is in your old passport, how are you going to prove that you have residency to the authorities?? It's only the date on your passport that expires, not it's authenticity, or the legal visa's and stamps therein....

Well, over the last few years there has been lots of fake passports going around...some are real passport books, just the ID pages altered in some form or another.  I understand what you're saying but no-one in my immediate family except for myself has travelled to a country where we have to get a visa permit before.
