the Caribbean and Bermuda.
Share Online The card may not be used to travel by air. Also, some
Caribbean nations will not accept the passport card for entry into
their country, so you may be required to have the more
traditional passport book to visit those nations on a cruise. The
cruise lines should be able to advise you whether or not a
passport card can be used during your voyage.

The Department of State is issuing this passport card in response
to the needs of border resident communities for a less expensive
and more portable alternative to the traditional passport book.
The card will have the same validity period as a passport book:
10 years for an adult, five for children 15 and younger. For adults
who already have a passport book, they may apply for the card as
a passport renewal and pay only $20. First-time applicants will
pay $45 for adult cards and $35 for children.
To facilitate the frequent travel of U.S. citizens living in border
communities and to meet the Department of Homeland Security's
operational needs at land borders, the passport card will contain a
vicinity-read radio frequency identification (RFID) chip. This
chip will link the card to a stored record in secure government
databases. There will be no personal information written to the
RFID chip itself.
For further information please visit the Department of State Web
site.
