A two week turn-around from a Federal agency is fantastic. They clearly have it figured out.

We had the same experience, but I would never cut it that close, if I really needed it.

We also got our teens who had to go into the passport office that fast. We had ordered new passports and passport cards as 2 forms of ID...couldn't believe the prices. I think for the 4 of us it cost upwards of 600.00...( the id card added $$$$ to the total). Fast, yes , PRICEY even a bigger YES...

were you advised that the passport cards are the only acceptable form of 2nd id?

No, we wanted them to carry with us when traveling in Europe. Easy fit in the pocket or wallet that hangs down your shirt. I know they are good in carribean and US as an acceptable form or ID, but not to travel with alone in Europe. I guess, its just a handy size that drew us to them.
