[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to address the issue of the controlling spouse, but more the questions about why to get a passport. First, for all the state that don't meet the Real ID act, your drivers licenses won't be good for domestic air travel in a couple years (lucky there was an extension given by DHS). Some military bases aren't accepting those drivers licenses so a passport is another form of ID.

Also, please search for the press releases by the Department of State regarding the huge spike in passports that will occur in the next two years- they are specifically asking people to renew early. The wait and delays to possibly get your passport will be long. Do people not remember in 2007 and 2008 when people missed their trips because they didn't give enough time to get their passport there were tons of articles around that time. Here is the latest warning https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/news/apply-now-to-avoid-delays.html

The hype is overrated. They're hiring aggressively, so keeping up with demand will not be a huge deal. Yes, there are delays every tourist season. Yes, it's best to apply during off-season. No, you don't need a passport unless you actually plan to travel. Yes, expedited services are available in case of emergencies or lack of planning ahead.

Keep calm and carry on, people. There is no need to siege your passport office yet.[/quote]
