To enter, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Mariana Islands or the US Virgin Islands, only valid ID is required by border control.

Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda all permit travel by land or sea for US citizens with a passport card instead of a full passport book.

Travellers under 16 only need proof of citizenship but you not travel to Canada or Mexico by air without a US passport book.
