Why Should You Have a Valid Passport?

A passport is your key to the world. While it may not be the only document you need to enter and exit a country, it is definitely the most basic. If there’s even a tiny chance that you might have to board a plane and take a trip—whether for business or pleasure—already having a passport locked away in your drawer somewhere will prove very convenient. Traveler or not, there are some reasons why you should have a valid, working passport on hand:

• You can’t go anywhere without it. As a general rule, international travel requires that the traveler has a passport to both enter and exit a country, especially when traveling by air.

• It serves as a valid government-issued ID. Even if you don’t plan on traveling anytime soon, you still should have a passport, as a passport can serve as an identification card. Having a valid government ID can make a lot of transactions faster and easier and, most of the time, it is a requirement when opening a bank account or undergoing any government-related transactions.

• It keeps you from being in a time crunch. Applying for a passport takes a lot longer than some people anticipate. Gathering the requirements alone might already take you a couple of weeks.

• It saves you a ton of money. Have your passport ready in case of a spontaneous trip. Having your passport rushed would cost a lot more extra on top of the already relatively hefty fee of applying for it.

• Be ready. There are situations that happen in life that we cannot control nor predict. Be sure that when emergencies happen, you have the means to pack and go. Have your travel documents in order in case a loved one has an emergency abroad and needs you.
