Although these are available, and can be used to cross back into the US via land borders and sea ports, they aren't good for anything else that a passport book is good for. Passport cards are only good for land border crossings and sea ports in North America, not international air travel, which includes flying from Canada. I applied for my passport on January 20th and received it in the mail on 2/13. Not a terrible wait. |

He was told he could get one a bit quicker than a passport or passport card. Luckily, that was true and he got his EDL (just barely) in time for his spur-of-the-moment trip to the Angle. |

02/14/2015 12:16PM I have both a passport and the card. When I applied for a passport the guy I talked to advised me to get both when I told him that I did canoe and fishing trips---it was only 20 bucks extra and is worth the convenience it offers. With the card they just run it through a scanner (both sides/ways) just like a credit card. When I re-enter remotely, we just stop into customs in Ely and they just scan the card as well---takes less than 5 minutes to check back in. Can't you get the passport card as part of your MN drivers license now? T |

02/14/2015 12:07PM If you are planning to drive into Canada, I got a card last year to drive back through Canada from Grand Marais to Sault Ste. Marie. No problem either way. |

02/14/2015 10:01AM differences between book and card. Limited use land and water border crossing only. Passport book or card are not required to enter Canada, proof of citizenship and identity is, a birth certificate and gov. issued photo ID are accepted. Kids under 16 need only present proof of U.S. citizenship. Don't forget vehicle registration and proof of insurance. I do not cross often (been a few years), but i think this is reasonably up to date. butthead |

02/14/2015 09:44AM Perhaps a stupid question, but I know I can use a passport card to get back into the US, but can I use one to get into Canada? My wife and I are planning a trip into Beaverhouse, and I am finding confusing information online about the use of the card to get into Canada. Thanks. |
