Why You Need a Passport

A passport is not only essential for international travel, but it also serves as one of the most reliable identification documents. Whether you’re traveling abroad for business, education, or leisure, a passport is your gateway to accessing international opportunities. Additionally, many financial institutions, airlines, and visa offices accept a passport as a valid proof of identity.
