Mine's maroon I've got three year's on it before I get a blue one. Hubby and son renewed last year so I'll be the first one to get the new passport out of us.
If you even want to fly in USA after I think, October of this year (at least the Minnesota deadline) you will need an enhanced ID or drivers license.I wanted to get one of those, but the form looked so complicated, it gave me anxiety. They wanted utility bill and a bunch of other stuff? I only had a hour before they closed and I was at the deadline of having to retake my road test if I didn't get it renewed that day.
I have the passport card too - worth the extra few dollars. It’s only good for US flying but easier to carry around that full passport.I have both a passport and the passport card (I had lost my old one, which was really depressing because it had my Antarctica stamps in it, and since I had to go through hoops to get a new one and say the old one was lost, I figured I'd get the card, too).
It's navy blue and expires in 2025.
I think it also works if you drive into Canada or Mexico and if you get on a boat to the Caribbean, but I don't recall for sure. I do keep it in my wallet and use it for domestic flights.I have the passport card too - worth the extra few dollars. It’s only good for US flying but easier to carry around that full passport.
They do, but passports are only good for ten years and are a nuisance to renew since you need to send your documents in again. Whereas renewing an ID or drivers license can be done by getting a new picture taken at the DMV and filling out a form.I haven't had a passport since I was a teenager. I think I may get one now because of the Real ID requirement. If you have a passport, you don't need a Real ID, because they require the same kind of documentation.
Here it's easy, as long as you don't let it expire.But we don't know about renewing a Real ID, do we?
What is the Real ID?I'll probably get the Real ID
Real ID is what the enhanced ID is called. Everyone has to have one by October 2020 if they want to fly.What is the Real ID?
