I got my kids passports by the time they were two because sometimes opportunity pop up and the effort it takes to get a passport quickly (I’ve done it) is stress-inducing. But I’d be concerned if she’s not generally a traveler. Children don’t need an ID even to fly domestically so the only reason you need a passport is to leave the country or to just feel cool that you have one.
Other countries say you should carry a notarized letter from the other parent when traveling alone with a child but I was only once ever asked for it and that was in Canada.
