When you get your U.S. passport in the mail, it comes with a flyer that says "With your U.S. passport, the World is Yours!" Holders of the U.S. passport are accustomed to simply arriving at the border of another country, showing their passport, and easily crossing in.
American citizens who have international travel plans in their future and don't already have a passport will need to begin the process of obtaining one. The U.S. passport is a document in a convenient book form that contains your photograph, name, birth date and other personal information intended to confirm your identity to authorities. It also contains pages meant to record entries and departures to other nations around the world. Obtaining a U.S. passport has several benefits.
