A passport book is another way of referring to your passport. Each passport or passport book contains 28 or 52 pages and allows you to travel by plane, boat, or land border crossings. Most countries will stamp your passport upon entry/exit, typically on the same or facing page, but this varies from country to country. The last four pages of your passport book are marked ENDORSEMENT/AMENDMENTS. These pages are reserved for countries to input additional information into your passport and should not be considered open pages for visa purposes.

A passport card is an alternative form of identification, the size of a driver’s license, that allows one to travel by land border crossings or sea ports-of-call to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. It also fulfills the standards of the Real ID Act and can be used in place of a state-issued ID card, driver’s license, or passport book for all domestic flights.

NOTE: Passport cards cannot be used for international air travel.
