They can go to the dinner, they just can't come back!   Maybe we could hide them in the back of the AV!

Took me twenty minutes for both Lu and I at the local license branch, "Enhanced Driver License" or "Secure Driver License"    two names same thing, lol.

Had to have Birth certificate, social security card, two pieces of official mail, mailed to your address within the last six months!

Only for neighboring states, as far as I understand.  I know NJ doesn't have that.
 
While Indiana's new DL is enhanced, its not enhanced enough for the Boarder Crossings, lol.  Has the bar codes with the same info that the RFID chips have but no go, grrr, oh well, live and learn

I agree with everything you say in your last post however where do you get the information that a secure drivers license and an enhanced drivers license are one in the same.  Like I said I hope you are right.
 
Butch for president!      btw the BA at the Local was totally surprised, he remembered the conversation vaguely and still thought the same as I, because again thats what he was told by the BMV if he remembers right!

Read the links in the original threads on this discussion, originally it was supposed to be country wide with states starting implementation starting in 2010 as in Indiana, states balked at this and kept pushing it back and back, it clearly states that on the border crossing page that enhanced drivers license's will get you across the boarder, its all a part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative!

Ok I went back, I copied this directly from the Canadian US boarder page:

http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html#entry_requirements

For entry into the United States via land and sea borders, U .S. citizens must present either a U.S. passport, passport card, NEXUS card,Enhanced Drivers License, or other Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI)-compliant document. The only exception to this requirement is for U.S. citizens under the age of 16 (or under 19, if traveling with a school, religious, or other youth group) who need only present a birth certificate, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or naturalization certificate.

btw I have nothing against becoming a Canadian if need be, hehehe

Ok now I went to the Canadian Boarder Crossing page:

http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/security-securite/admiss-eng.html#s1

photo identification

Non-Canadians

When you enter Canada, a CBSA officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, if one is necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as photo identification. If you are a permanent resident of Canada or the U.S, you should bring your Permanent Resident Card with you.

Elsewhere on same page it mentions "Enhanced Drivers License"

Why on earth would someone doubt ME hahahaha    its my JOB to know

(however, might be a good idea to pack your birth certificates, lol)

Also if I remember right ours cost ten bucks to get!

I'm going to bring my BC but I have a feeling I will not be able to go to the dinner :E:
 
I don't need a copy. I just wondered  where you found that.  I never found it anywere but  you are the professinal driver!
 
OMG crap, lol, Just got off the phone with the Indiana BMV and they tell me NO, but when I called a couple of months or so ago, they said YES    make up my mind eh!  More calls to be made, lol.

sheesh


Didit
 
Good luck it was my understanding that only border states will have enhanced as when I came up last year I had to have a passport to cross.
 
Now I'm nervous, sniff   more calls, grrrrrr I should have known to get four or five varifications, lol.

Didit
 
There's a way to get a rush on a passport don't know how fast they can be or how much it would cost.
 
Folks I just got off the phone with the US Transportation folks and you are required to have a valid passport ot passport card.

I will not be able to attend the dinner.  Not sure who else is in the same boat

Nope. :p even if I could get an appotinment to the reginal passport office in ATL this week, there is no way to do it.  I have to work tomorrow and surgery Wed.  This would leave less than a week to try and turn a passport card around
