How many passports can you legally own?

You may have as many passports as the number of your citizenships. However, you may only use only one of these to leave or enter a country. And yes, you do not own the passport. Ex. A child with a French father and a British mother was born in the USA. Technically, that child can have 3 citizenships outright. Wait till he grows up and gets naturalized in Australia.

Technically: zero. The passport belongs to the country that issued it.

If you're asking how many one can apply for: I guess the limit is as many as countries as will acknowledge multiple citizenship.

The passports are the property of the issuing government. As a US citizen, I had 2 passports - a regular passport for personal travel and an Official passport that I used when I traveled on official U.S. government business. There is also a special passport issued to US Diplomats.

In the United States, you may legally posses only one. You do not own a passport. It is the property of the State Department of the nation that issued it.

Most Western countries accept dual citezenship, and allow you two or more passports, depending on the nation. Some countries allow only one. Corrupt and impovershed nations in Africa, South America, and Asia will issue passports to you, sometimes legally, or sometimes corrupt. Most of these nations don't have limits.

As of 1977, the United States, Canada and several western European countries agreed to recognize dual citizenship. You can legally have 2 passports.

If you've got more than one passport there is a serious problem.
