Will we need to get a passport for our toddler for the cruise? I know the law is changing June 1, 2009, so I'm not totally sure what is needed and isn't needed for her.
Since they are good for 10 , you never know what you'll be doing in those ten years....
This is the best place to find the official information regarding passports.

Thanks Kevin. We have to apply for them for our girls, too.
For other parents out there, we decided to go for the passport book and not the card (although as I'm writing this, I may change my mind...).
Our reasoning: If we had an emergency and had to fly home, we couldn't use the cards to fly. However, for an additional $20 per person, the cards give peace of mind to prove that you had a passport and would be helpful to prove you indeed had one to begin with. Since they are good for 10 , you never know what you'll be doing in those ten years....
The $20 dollar difference was the price (based on 2 kids) between getting "only the passport book" or the "book and card" combo. In the end, we opted for just the books.
The book and card combo is $95 for each child.
It's $20 more for each adult.

I just renewed my passport last December. Not that I had plans to go anywhere, but it really stressed me out to know that I couldn't travel for the month that it was expired. What is the deal of a lifetime came out and I didn't have a valid passport?
What would the benifit be to having both?
