American Passport Card Accessibility Act

The American Passport Card Accessibility Act seeks to eliminate standard fees associated with obtaining a passport card. Specifically, it prohibits the Secretary of State from charging a fee for both the initial issuance and subsequent reissuance of a passport card, aiming to enhance accessibility for citizens. This prohibition, however, does not extend to all charges. The bill explicitly states that fees assessed for expedited processing of an application for a passport card are still permissible, allowing the Department of State to continue charging for faster service.
