How will the passport card be delivered to applicants living in Mexico or Canada?
Select Mexican and Canadian posts are in the process of downloading the Travel Document Issuance System (TDIS) and learning how to use it for data entry of applications for passport cards. This workaround will allow high-volume posts to keep up with the anticipated passport card demand by entering data directly into TDIS (instead of the overseas ACS system). Canadian posts will enter all the passport application data with a return address allowing First Class Mail to the applicants’ U.S. or Canadian home address. Posts in Mexico will enter the US-based post address for return of the card to post by First Class Mail. Mexican posts will then arrange for delivery of the cards to the applicants when they receive them from CA/PPT/APC. This process is a temporary work around.
