The passport card is a nicety extended to border state residents. They were accustomed to passing over the border unmolested. When the 9/11 response kicked in, the cards were offered as a cheaper option than a full blown passport. It only gets you back into the US from Canada and perhaps Mexico. I never bought one so I’m not sure. When I return from Canada, they just add me to the non-compliant list and pass me in.

Thanks to all of you for the info on “passport cards.”

I live in Washington state, and we got an “Enhanced Drivers License” (EDL) a few years ago that lets us cross back and forth from Canada.

I Googled “EDL,” and it says I can visit Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean, too.

I'm surprised Panama isn't allowed, considering the large number of American expatriates who have retired there.
