Passport Card
From the Missoulian: "If you drive to Canada but don't want to pay for or carry around a passport once stricter requirements go into effect next year, the government has a cheaper and easier alternative for you.
"The 'passport card,' which you can apply for now, will be far less expensive than a regular passport. And it will be the size of a credit card. But it can only be used for international travel by car or boat, not on airplanes."
The State Department website has information on the new Passport Card option. The site includes responses to frequently asked questions and general information on the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
Derwood Staebe's testimony on the Passport Card before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs is available on the hearing website.
