So, how much are passports for 16-year-olds? $165 for the book, plus the cost of your sanity for a few hours. It’s a fair trade for the look on their face when they get it. You’re not just buying a travel document—you’re buying them the chance to write their own adventure. And isn’t that worth a little paperwork and a slightly awkward photo?
Go ahead, book that appointment. You’ll both survive. And who knows? Maybe they’ll even say “thank you” (but don’t hold your breath).
