Yes! Passport card is available---fee for first -time applicants is $45...not $25....& you need a birth certificate to apply...You can do Canada, Mexico, the Carribean, and Bermuda w/"the card", so I'm told.---but no trans-Atlantic flights---full passport needed for those. Anyway, I'll be at my local post office applying for "the card" on Monday morning....hopefully I can get it by next Thursday....we'll see. Stay tuned.
