Requesting passport card with existing passport application

[cardnotgreen]

I did not think this through when I applied for the passport book. Now I figure it wouldn't have harmed to apply for passport card (another form of citizen id, you don't have to risk sending your natz certificate again and you save on the $25 execution fee). Is there some way I can request them to add this to my ongoing passport book application, has anyone done this?

I would recommend calling the Customer Service number and see whether it is possible. If not, you can always send in another application after you receive your passport book, using your passport book and form DS-82. In that case, the fee is only $20; the only disadvantage is that you cannot use your passport book for a few weeks until you receive it back. I did this earlier this year with no problems.

Just called the customer service and the rep told me that they can add the request for passport card. But I have to call back after a week as they dont have my application yet - just applied over this weekend.

Update: Called the passport customer service as soon as I saw the check cashed. Asked the rep to add passport card request to the application. He took credit card info over the phone and updated the application to request Passport Card.
