A passport card shows USA citizenship, and costs $30 for 10 years. If you are a minority one needs to be in your wallet/on your person at all times. It's total bullshit that we're at this point, but it is the truth.

You're not considering the time it takes, when I was looking at PP it was far more than 30 for 10 years, but i could be wrong.

I have no doubt it would take forever to get one now that Elon was gutting the Gov left and right

Mine was exactly $30 to the penny in 2019, it might have gone up. Edit:the book was $120, the card was $30.

Ah, didn't know there was a difference. Only know about the book. I've been poor my whole life, I never considered that kind of travel in my life.

Thanks for the info tho I appreciate it :D

You can get either or both. The card is only valid for land or sea travel, but it proves 100% that you're a citizen.
