I've said before...how many of us could prove our residency or citizenship status on a random stop?
Everyone COULD, if they chose to do so. I have had one since they became available. I renew it when I renew my US passport.
US Passport Card is FEDERALLY ISSURED REAL ID and is same size as a credit card or driver's license.
Sure, it has a price. But way cheaper than the alternatives.
A U.S. passport card is a wallet-sized, plastic alternative to a passport book that can be used for land and sea entry into the U.S. from Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. It is cheaper than a passport book, serves as a valid proof of identity and citizenship, and is also a REAL ID-compliant identification for domestic flights. However, the passport card is not valid for international air travel.
