Will getting a passport be worth it?
I heard that some people can get their passports as soon as they turn 18, I never did mines though. I know the process and how to get it, the question is if I’m not traveling anywhere for a while would it actually be worth it?
Some people are even lucky to have one or travel as a kid. I didn’t do that obviously, but I would like to get my passport now, It’s just some complications.

I was born overseas and have funky birth certificates. I've had a passport since I was very young, and because of those funky birth certificates, I NEVER let it expire. I travel more than most people, so it's necessary for me. That said, I think there's something very romantic about having a passport. It's like a ticket to the world. Maybe you don't plan on flying to France next week, but if you have a passport, you could.
You should also find out if your state is a "real ID" state. Mine isn't, so I use my passport, even when I'm flying domestically.

It is so worth it because it will last you 10 years! It is also just a handy form of indentification.

Yes, it's worth hqaving a passport. The pandemic will end and you never know when you'll have the chance to travel for work or pleasure.

If you're not going to travel, it isn't worth it. However, if there's a possibility you will travel, having one makes things convenient. If you decide to dash off to Paris next weekend and you don't already have a passport, you will have to decide not to dash off to Paris next weekend, or spend extra time and money getting a passport in a hurry.

I only have one because so many jobs are strict about ID nowadays, I don't really travel.
