  passport applicant and 35 for all minor
  applicants under age 16, regardless of whether
  they are previous passport book or card holders.

Security

• To increase speed, efficiency, and security at
  U.S. land and sea border crossings, the passport
  card contains a vicinity-read radio frequency
  identification (RFID) chip. This chip points to a
  stored record in secure government databases.
  There is no personal information written to the
  RFID chip itself.
• The passport card uses state-of-the-art security
  features to prevent against the possibility of
  counterfeiting and forgery. In addition, a
  protective, RFID-blocking sleeve is provided with
  each passport card to protect against
  unauthorized reading or tracking of the card when
  it is not in use.
