| Feb 23, 2019 at 14:27 | comment | added | Gerard Ashton | @Aganju, obviously if the COUNTRY (national government) has agreed to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, It won't need an immigration stamp. But that doesn't prevent private companies, states, provinces, municipalities, or parts of the national government other than immigration from having rules that are out of step with national immigration policy. | |

| Feb 23, 2019 at 5:23 | comment | added | phoog | @zaph what does the passport number have to do with it? The number of a passport card is unique, as is the number of a passport book. The number identifies the document, not the person. | |
| Feb 23, 2019 at 4:15 | comment | added | zaph | IMO the passport card is a better ID out of the U.S. since it also contains the passport number, is issued by the U.S. government and the EDL will not be equally recognized as a passport card. | |
