Passports

A passport is a government-issued document that proves your identity and citizenship. You need it for international travel because it shows officials who you are and where you’re from.

Why You Need a Passport
Identification – Your passport includes your full name, date of birth, photograph, and nationality, making it one of the most reliable forms of ID.

International Travel – Most countries require a passport to enter and exit. Without it, you can’t cross borders.

Legal Protection – If you run into trouble abroad, your passport proves your nationality, allowing your country’s embassy or consulate to assist you.

Visa Applications – Many countries require a visa, which gets stamped or attached to your passport, granting permission to enter for a specific reason (tourism, work, or study).

Why It’s Important
Freedom to Travel – Your passport lets you visit other countries, work abroad, and see family overseas.

Secure Identification – Governments and officials trust passports as a top form of ID.

Travel Rights & Protection – If a crisis happens while you’re abroad, your passport helps your government find and assist you.

Universal Recognition – Unlike some ID cards, a passport works almost anywhere.
