Does my state offer an enhanced drivers license?
The enhanced drivers license (EDL) is still in its infancy stage. Only Vermont, Michigan, New York and Washington currently offer EDLs.
It's no surprise that the four states offering EDLs are all border states. These special licenses allow drivers to enter and exit Canada from the United States without extra identification. It's like having a drivers license and passport all in one. In addition to Canada, these licenses also allow its owners similar identification clearance with Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean.
Applying for an EDL is similar to applying for a regular drivers license. And while exact requirements differ with each four participating states, you'll generally need photo identification, proof of state residency and U.S. citizenship and a social security number.
