A passport book is required for international travel, however purchasing a passport card in addition to a
book has some benefits. Like a passport book, a passport card is considered a Real ID and can be used
for domestic travel, but is wallet sized and convenient to carry. Having a passport card in addition to a
passport book while traveling internationally allows you to have an additional proof of citizenship on
you in an emergency, especially since often the passport book is left securely in a hotel safe.
