Passports are essential travel documents for all ages, including senior citizens. Retirees often travel to visit family, vacation, or relocate. A passport facilitates international travel and serves as proof of identity and citizenship, crucial for receiving benefits or pensions abroad. It’s wise to have a passport even without immediate travel plans for emergencies.
