US passport questions (misc.)
Hi, I have a few questions. I have both a passport card and book that expire in 2022. I carry my passport card as my primary ID instead of my DL.
1. Since I use my passport card as everyday ID, do I have to return it by mail when I renew, or can I keep it? Can I also keep the passport book when I renew, or just say I lost it, and not have to appear personally to renew?
2. Should I renew both the book and card at the same time? Is there any savings (you have to purchase less photos and less stamps)?
3. How soon can I renew? How late can I renew? Can I renew now, 5 years early, just to get it out of the way, with a new expiration date of 2032??
4. Can I request a replacement RFID shielding envelope for my passport card if it is worn out?
Thanks!
