USA, without the

Hi,

On the passport of the United States, "United State of America" is printed. Is this because of a designing purpose? The official name of your country is the United States of America, isn't it?

Thank you,
M

mitsuwao23 The official name of your country is the United States of America, isn't it? No, the official name is 'United States of America'—at least to the US Department of State. Only grammar requires 'the'.
