High Sierra Fan , is that up to date? The last time we entered Canada (by car), I’m pretty sure we were required to have a passport. Or maybe that was just to get back into the US... ETA: The passport card is meant for Canada and Mexico. The latter info is off the government CBP webpages so I’d expect so. Otoh the other side of the coin would be Canada’s rules.

Too bad the passport card doesn't just replace the passport book for traveling anywhere. You have to find a way to carry the book around and pickpockets might steal it if you're not careful (I guess they can sell the passports to someone).

Odds are that's since there are countless entry points where the highest tech is still a stampad and stamp I suppose... the card only functions within a digital network I'd expect where visas, entry verification etc. is required and can be accessed.

The last time I entered the US from Mexico (2 years?) I came through the east Mexicali crossing. They were backed up inspecting several trucks, so I was waved through. Didn't have to stop, didn't show any ID or passport. I was surprised.

In addition to Canada and Mexico you can also use a passport card to travel by sea to the Caribbean or the Bahamas. You just can’t use them to fly out of the country.
