Nov 3, 2017 at 9:44 comment added Vladimir F Героям слава @Flynn For example many citizens of the Czech Republic do not have any passport at all. In the EU you can use just the national ID and many don't travel outside of EU (if they travel at all). We also don't have a civil war for quite some time.
Nov 3, 2017 at 6:02 comment added phoog @Flynn renewing passports costs money and time, as well as the aggravation of dealing with bureaucracy. The cost is small, but so may be the benefit: the chance of capitalizing on the benefit you contemplate in the event of a civil war or invasion is very small indeed, although it does vary according to the countries involved.
Nov 3, 2017 at 4:13 comment added Patricia Shanahan I'm thinking of reworking the question along the lines of "What are the advantages and disadvantages of obtaining and renewing both passports?". Would that improve the question, by making it less opinion-based? Most of the existing answers would fit that question.
Nov 2, 2017 at 19:16 comment added JustWilliam I cannot understand why anyone would not renew and keep up to date all passports to which they are entitled. Countries can fall apart quickly. Suppose you wanted to flee a civil war or invasion but Country A did not want to let its citizens leave; they'd probably allow a citizen of County B to leave rather than upset Country B. Country B might not be accepting refugees, but if you hold one of its passports, they'll let you in. Over the lifetime of a passport the cost is negligible.

Nov 2, 2017 at 16:52 comment added phoog I voted to close this as opinion based because of the word "should," but on reflection I would say it is rather too broad, because it entirely depends on the countries involved.

Nov 2, 2017 at 15:05 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution "Should they obtain both passports and renew both of them when about to expire?" It's completely up to them. Only if they want to. It's obviously more work and may cost something but may also offer greater flexibility. In the end, the decision will be a compromise and highly specific to personal circumstances.
