Passport

A passport is a document, issued by the federal government, which certifies the identity and nationality of the passport holder. A passport has two forms:

• Passport Book - can be used for all air, land and sea travel.
• Passport Card - can be used to travel to and return from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at land border crossing or sea ports-of-entry. The Passport card can also be used to board aircraft for domestic travel, but cannot be used for international air travel.

To apply for a passport book or card, all applicants must apply in person at an authorized Passport Acceptance Facility; however, there are also special requirements for minor applicants age 15 and younger.
