Beginning production on July 14, 2008, the US Passport Card has been well received by many, but numerous organizations and individuals have disputed the right to privacy associated with this credit card sized passport. Issued by the US Department of State, this convenient card has been filled with much controversy thanks to the addition of one electronic chip.
The process for obtaining the Passport Card is quite similar to the traditional Passport Book. You will still need the appropriate verification and identification, but you will pay considerable less for the card generally more than 50 percent, and renewals only cost about $20 at this time.
How people use the Passport Card will vary greatly from how those Passport Book holders will use their book. A passport card is only valid for travel by land or sea which means it is going to target US citizens traveling to neighboring countries. If you plan on traveling into or out of the US, you will still need a passport book.
