Has anyone used the “passport card” to fly to Canada from the US?

Question: Has anyone used the “passport card” to fly to Canada from the US?
On the travel.state.gov website (in the FAQs) it says that the passport card was created as a less expensive option to the passport book. It also says, “and will meet the specific requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) to secure and expedite travel. WHTI is the Administration’s plan to implement a provision of the Intelligence Reform Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which requires citizens of the United States, Canada, and Bermuda to have a passport or other designated document that establishes the bearer’s identity and nationality to enter or re-enter the United States from Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.”

On that same list of FAQs there is a question that says, “Why can’t I use the passport card to fly to Canada and Mexico?” and the answer says, “The passport card is designed for the specific needs of border resident communities and is not a globally interoperable travel document as is the traditional passport book. The passport book is the appropriate travel document for most international travel.”

You can get a passport since you have completed your jail time and parole/probation. If you can enter Mexico is up to Mexico and will be determined for each case. You should contact the nearest Mexican consulate or embassy.
