Not by air. The passport card is valid for land and sea border crossings to Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, and Bermuda — but it cannot be used for international air travel. If you're flying internationally, you need a passport book. Many people get both.

Yes. You can apply for the passport card and the passport book at the same time on one application, paying both fees. If you want both, tell us and we'll make sure your order and paperwork are set up correctly.

The passport card has a lower government fee than the book because it's a limited-use travel document (land and sea only). We show you the exact current fee and how to write your check so it's accepted the first time.

With our fastest service, many customers receive their card in as little as 3 business days once their documents reach us. Timing depends on the processing speed you choose (3, 4, 6, 8, or 10 business days) and how quickly you complete the in-person step. Urgent Passport is a private courier registered with the U.S. Department of State — not a government agency.
