The wallet size passport card is a travel document that can be used to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean at land border crossings or sea ports-of entry. The U.S. passport card cannot be used for air travel to any international destination, The passport card is less expensive than the passport book, and was designed to be a more convenient option for applicants with frequent cross-border travel by land or sea. The passport card has the same period of validity as a passport book: 10 years for adults and 5 years for minors under the age of 16. Processing times are generally the same as those of a passport book.
Passport fees are non-refundable and are retained by the Department of State whether or not a passport is issued. Please be aware that periodic changes in passport fees do occur. The website: travel.state.gov is a good reference for the most updated fee information.
