Firstly, I apologize about my constant posting of new threads.
Secondly, when I have some land, would it be a good idea or not to have a passport?

That depends on what your policy on travel is, and how much money you've got to burn.
Producing proper passports ain't cheap - there's a guy who works as a Hollywoiod prop maker who charges a couple of hundred dollars for EACH passport, if you hire him.
On the other hand, if your micronation is fundamentally morally opposed to the concept of restricted international freedom of movement (eg Atlantium), it would be contrary to your principles to issue passports or visas at all.
Then again, you might just want to produce your own passport because it's fun.

Sealand produced passports for a while. Then some scheister started duplicating them and selling them off as real passports. Imagine the surprise of that poor oppressed servant who finally got away from his country's heavy hand only to discover that he paid hundreds for a souvenir. Sealand eventually declared all their passports as null and void.
Dagostinia has toyed with the idea but decided to address it later. There is an incredible guide to making your own on another similar forum out there but I don't want George banning me for posting a link to it...

If you're referring to Jacopo Casteletti's passport guide, feel free to link away to your heart's content.

Alteria did toy with the idea of passports, but found that many people who designed them had dollar signs in their eyes, so we too placed it on the backburner.
We have found the same with Flags and currency as well. Get a flag designed for a sports team, and they will do it happily for afew dollars each, mention a micronation and the price goes through the roof.

There's your answer: Please Mr Flag Maker, Sir, the "football team" of Alteria would like to order 100 flags @ $1 each.

makemepassport.com -- excellent know-how but limited choice of designs. (website tip from a Friend of Jirmania)
