Effective January 24th, 2012, the State Department will conduct a 90 day trial that allows U.S. citizens with a valid passport book the ability to order online a passport card. The U.S. government made the passport card available for citizens crossing the U.S. border by land into Canada or Mexico. The card is less expensive than the passport book and can be conveniently carried in a person’s wallet.
The U.S. has issued more than 4.5 million passport cards to date.
U.S. citizens when using the services of NAPVS member to renew or obtain a new passport book can also at that same time order a passport card through the member. Separate fees and forms will apply, so check with the passport service before hand.
