Is it smart to get a baby government identification?

Question

I want to open a bank account for my new baby. He has a birth certificate and a SSN. That got me thinking. Should I get him a government ID, too (passport or ID card)? 
Is there any good reason to do it or not to do it? Please comment any thoughts!

Answer

Not sure the rules are the same all over (but for pass posits it should be) 
Kids 0-5years: passports are only valid for 2years, and you have to be able to identify the person on the photo. 
Kids 5-10: valid for 3years. 
Kids 10-16: valid for 5years.

Answer

a child under 16 passport is good for 5 yrs. unless you will be traveling there is no need. all we needed to open her bank account was a social. keep your childs identity safe, the less you put in their name the better, less likey to end up stolen.

Answer
