passport card

Compact border credential

A passport card is a wallet-sized travel document issued as an alternative to a traditional passport book.

In the United States, it allows travel by land or sea to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda, but cannot be used for international air travel.

It's cheaper and more convenient for frequent border crossers: I keep my passport card in my wallet for weekend trips to Tijuana.
