Does this scenario require an execution fee?
First-time combo applicants pay one $35.00 for both book and card at the same in-person appointment. Mail renewal of both skips execution when DS-82 still applies.
Why the combo exists
The book covers air travel. The card is convenient at some land borders so you are not fishing a souvenir-stamped book out of a bag. Ordering both at one appointment is the usual way to get that pair without a second $35.00 hit.
Adult mail renewal of both, when eligible, is $160.00 and skips execution. Child both-documents in person is $150.00.
When to skip the card
If every trip you take is a flight, the card sits in a drawer. If you drive to Canada twice a year, it earns its $30.00. Read book vs card before you add it out of habit.
Expedite still adds one $60.00 in this calculator (per application package as configured). Overnight return is $21.36. Adjust in the widget below.
