The passport card is a wallet-size card that can only be used for land and sea travel between the United States and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
The card provides a less expensive, smaller and more convenient alternative to the passport book for those who travel frequently to these destinations by land or by sea.
First time applicants, minors, and those seeking to replace a lost or stolen passport must appear in person before a person authorized by the Secretary of State to give oaths to verify their passport applications.
In order to offer American citizens convenient locations to apply for a passport, the Department of State authorizes Passport Acceptance Agents to accept passport applications on it's behalf.
The execution fee is to reimburse the acceptance facility for the cost of the service.
Applicants applying for both the passport book and card simultaneously pay only one execution fee.
