From an entry to the US standpoint, it's only good for land/sea entry from Canada, Mexico, and (sea) Caribbean. I've got a regular passport book, but I don't like to carry it around unless I'm traveling.

Do you carry that thing in your wallet? The State Department seems pretty adamant about it not leaving that protective sleeve they ship with it...

Wait, why is the Caribbean the only place listed as "sea". If I just wash up on the shores of North Carolina, wouldn't I be entering from the sea? (And — sorta tangentially related — how are random people swimming in from the ocean handled? It's not like there's a ICE agent stationed every 50ft along the shore or anything...)

I suggested that she get a CHL for an I.D. because she was worried about damaging her passport since the pages are not laminated like a driver's license. Now, she has a CHL and that's all that she uses as her I.D. everywhere she goes, but she doesn't carry nor drive. She only carries when she takes out her trash Thursday night for the Friday morning trash man. I didn't bother telling her that she did not need a CHL to carry on her own driveway because I want more CHL's (and NRA members) out there for political reasons

Personally, I only use a CHL as an I.D. when visiting gun ranges and gun shops.
