      I never said it had to be an app or a card in your phone’s wallet, although it’s not a bad idea. Passports have chips now. I just think it doesn’t need to be a booklet anymore.

        They still physically staple your visa in there or use stamps to register entry in addition to registering things digitally.

        It’s probably more to do with being compliant with other countries’ systems. The US has passport cards, but they only work with Canada and Mexico. I’m sure that has to do with some agreement we made with them.

      I just want it to be wallet sized and tear/water resistant, so like a typical plastic ID card.
