-- Did the judge ask for ALL passports or did he just ask for A passport. --

He didn't ask for any. O'Mara volunteered it as a "good faith" show that Zimmerman wouldn't be a flight risk.

Passports are a document that you only get to have one active one, at a time. Normal protocol for getting a new passport is to surrender your expired or expiring one, which is punched full of holes and sent back to you, about the same time as the new one.

Zimmerman reported his lost or stolen - so he couldn't send it. That report was made two years into the passport's ten year life.

• Passports reported lost or stolen are invalidated and can no longer be used for travel.
• The person signing the "lost or stolen passport" form [DS-64] promises to immediately turn the found passport over for cancellation or destruction

Thanks for clarifying about the passports.

“Passports are a document that you only get to have one active one, at a time. “

Small point: You can have more than one active passport.

For example, you can have the typical “tourist” (Blue) passport and an “Official Passport” (Maroon in color).

Just can’t have two of the same classification.

Small point, to be sure, and not a swipe at you.
