Naive questions on passport card. Please help.

[Visio2000]

1. What are the advantages to have passport card besides it is easy to carry?
2. I am going to apply passport book. The cost is $75 + $25. If I also apply for passport card, what will be the total cost?

Thanks!

Adv:Another proof of citizenship. Can be used to get a passport if passport is lost/stolen. Need not provide the Nat. Cert. Also with EDL being mandated, can be used for airline travel as identity. Good for use for travel to canada/mexico since its easy to carry.

Cost will be an extra $20. So Total for book + card = $120
