Do you have a US Passport card?

I'm renewing my passport and I'm thinking of getting the card too for $30.00 more.

I guess I don't need it because I can obviously cross the Canadian or Mexican borders with the passport book.  I think I just want it because it looks cool.

Re: Do you have a US Passport card?

  • No, I have a passport. It's a waste of $30 IMO

  • Nope, just a passport. I heard the card won't work for most scenarios anyway so it seems like a waste to get it. (not sure if that's accurate or not though)
    Always be yourself. Unless you suck.
  • When I got my passport in the summer of 2009, there were still lots of hassles associated with it, so I didn't get one.

    I would be able to cross the border with this card by car, not by air.  My primary need for a passport is crossing the Canadian and Mexican borders by car.

  • I don't even have a passport.

  • My dad has the card because is drives into Canada all the time and he said he stopped using it cause it was more hassel than what its worth. He just started using the book
  • No, I just have a passport. The card seems unnecessary when you have a passport.

    What kind of hassle did he encounter?

  • It seems like a waste of money to me. I would prefer to have the passport book in hand for travel.

    *Coming from someone who is constantly in a panic over where my green card is when I travel heh.*

  • It's a cheaper option if you know you are only going to Canada or Mexico but if you already have a passport (book) there really is not point in getting the card.

    Where do you live?  In my state, NY, you can get an enhanced drivers license to get into Canada.
