It's doable, but it's certainly not trivial. And no, it's not just "a slip of paper" it's far more than that when you consider all the human, bureaucratic and technical infrastructure, systems and support that would have to be behind it.
Sure, there are trashy and unreliable online aggregators like mylife and their ilk that can provide all kinds of dubious info. I am talking about something much more rigorous and reliable.
There are steps in the right direction occuring now (like Real ID) but even these half-measures have been years in the making and have years to go.

And no, it's not just "a slip of paper" it's far more than that when you consider all the human, bureaucratic and technical infrastructure, systems and support that would have to be behind it. I've considered that, and nope, still trivial SELECT address FROM voter_addresses WHERE passport_number = {number} The concept of "pulling up a record" perhaps was non-trivial in the 1950's, but not in 2019. If you were referring to the cost of the passport itself - yes, it requires infrastructure, and this is exactly what the taxes are for. It's an essential component of being a citizen, the extra fees are highway robbery.
