Does US immigration require you to remove passport covers?

score:18

In my experience, yes, it will be removed so that the officer can check appearance for validity. I've travelled for decades with a clear cover and, most frequently, just the rear flap has been been removed so that a little sticker can be affixed to the back cover. Additionally, a cover makes it more difficult to scan. Should it be presented with cover on, officers don't seem bothered; they simply remove it, and return it with the passport.

Yes you should,and do yourself and the people behind you the favour doing it in the queue. O

We can not see what kind of passport it is, biometric or not.
Front page nationality is important to us in the borders.
We need to feel the quality
Many people use the covers almost as a wallet, stuffed with god knows what of credit cards and cash.
