New? Passport Card?

[Bluesman]

I had to get my passport renewed. When I printed off the application I noticed that there was a "Passport Card" Available for a lot less money. It appears to be a credit card sized affair and is good for Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean. Much easier to use and looks less likely to be lost.

Old news? Sorry!

Ditto...I have both...you can drive into Mexico with the card but have to have the passport to fly, even to Mexico or Canada.

You don't need a passport to get from Mexico to The US. But you will need to find a good coyote.

How tough was it to get it renewed?
