Does a newborn need a passport? Wish I'd known this before booking flights https://www.lowtickets.com/blogs/do-infants-need-a-passport Wanted to share this since it caught me off guard when planning a trip with my newborn. Does newborn need passport — yes, even a few-weeks-old baby needs their own passport for international travel, there's no minimum age exemption. What I didn't realize is that infant passports typically expire much sooner than adult ones (often within a few years), since babies' appearances change so quickly. Also worth noting: you can't reuse an older sibling's passport or add your baby to yours — every traveler, regardless of age, needs their own individual passport.

How to replace a lost passport — my full experience https://www.lowtickets.com/blogs/what-do-i-do-if-i-lost-my-passport Sharing my full experience in case it helps someone else going through this. To replace a lost passport, you'll typically need to: (1) file a police report if you're confident it's lost/stolen, (2) fill out the appropriate replacement application form for your country, (3) provide a new passport photo, proof of citizenship/ID, and (4) pay the applicable fees. If you're traveling internationally when this happens, your embassy or consulate can issue an emergency document so you're not stranded, while your full replacement gets processed separately. Turnaround time varies a lot depending on whether you go standard or expedited processing — mine took about 2 weeks with expedited service.
