i have to get a passport. yes, i’m 33 years old and i don’t have a passport. but the time has come, i’ll be taking an out of the country business trip coming up here pretty soon. so i’m tooling about online and i find the online passport form that you can fill out, print and bring down to city hall. as i’m filling out the form, i get the portion marked Father. i never know what the fuck to put here. am i supposed to go with the father listed on my birth certificate? or do i put down the information for the man who raised me, the man i called dad? i went with dad and i’m hoping this goes much easier than i anticipate that it will.

Not that you’ll NEED to find another job again, but if you do, you can use your passport as a single source of ID. Most employers want a state ID AND Social Security card AND credit card AND all sorts of other crapola. You can say, “Here’s my PASSPORT!” and give them nothing else.
You are a rockstar anyway, you should have a passport. Make the Canadians stamp it too!
Legally, you have to put the name of the person listed on your birth certificate as your father. The government doesn’t care who raised you.
I’m 38 years old and don’t have a passport, so there.
Besides, it is always nice to think that you can leave the country at any time. You never know when the opportunity may present itself.
