Sounds about right! Costco does not issue official Government ID'.

They used to. I literally got my passport at a Costco.

Used to? That not right! You got it at Costco, but did Costco made it ?

No. US passports have been made overseas for years (decades?)

Yeah; it used to be something you could get done in the photo department. They take the picture, file the paperwork and print out the passport.

It’s the Kirkland Passport - it’s actually just a rebranded US passport, but cheaper, and only Costco is allowed to sell it.

Perfect for when you need to travel in bulk!
