Did you know that in the US, a baby can sign up for a passport the second it comes out into the world?! Well, not the baby, the parents can sign the baby up. But you get it—as soon as the parents are ready, they can have that baby prepared to jet set. It's very helpful for families who are from different parts of the world. For instance, a father who is from the Pacific Northwest in the USA and a mother who is from the bottom tip of Chile in South America. Maybe they met in NYC on vacation or while at school and fell in love and had a baby. Well, now they would like their family members to meet the baby. So what do you do? You get that tiny, squishy brand-new human a passport!
The thing about getting a very young baby to do anything is that it is hilarious. They are so new to the world, that trying to set them up to do grown societal things, like get their photos professionally taken for their passport, is a whole thing. These parents shared their experience getting their 7-week-old baby his passport photos and, oh boy, is it wholesome, adorable, and hilarious! See for yourself below.
