Renewing my passport. Should I get the passport card for an extra $30? I know it's only for land/sea travel to Mexico/Canada/Caribbean. But it's Real ID compliant, and MA ID is under review with DHS.

Your passport is also Real ID compliant. So it’s $30 to not have to carry the book and instead use the card.

I actually got declined at a casino in Vegas using my passport card as an id since they had never seen it before 🙄

funny

Get it. It's very useful as an ID card when you travel abroad.

My thinking is that it'll work for air travel in case MA is found to be non-compliant. And if MA is fine with DHS, it's still a handy backup to my DL.

If you have or will get Global Entry, use that card instead of a passport card or passport.

Realistically DHS will probably keep extending Real ID exemptions if the states are working towards compliance.

Sure. And while not a passport for air travel, you can argue that it is a official US id in foreign countries. Thus not need to take that booklet out on strolls

Useless unless you travel to Mexico or Canada via car often

I agree with SC1. Will not have to bring your passport everywhere and is realid compliant. $30 is nothing. Also yes, a good backup to DL for flying.

It’s $30. If you think it’ll be of use to you just get it. If it’s not, you’re out $30 nbd.

Yes. I put it in my laptop bag as an extra ID in case something happens to my driver’s License. I also use it as my primary ID when I am abroad and out at night (because I don’t want to risk losing my passport). Last if all I have used it to cross the border into Canada (Vancouver day trip) twice and Mexico (Tijuana) twice

I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these.
