Passport or Passport Card?

[Guest robmezquita]

What's the difference between applying for a passport (book) or a passport card?

The main difference is that you can only travel overseas internationally by air with the passport book.

With the passport card you can only travel by land or sea between the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean.

Costs? It is also much cheaper to apply for the card and it only takes about 2 to 3 weeks to receive it in the mail after you have applied.

So if you have not done so, please apply before heading south of the border for surgery. It's much easier than you think.
