New Travel Documents Required Beginning January 31, 2008
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of State (DOS) remind the traveling public that as of Jan. 31, 2008, all adult travelers will be required to present proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, and proof of identity, such as a driver's license, when entering the United States through land and sea ports of entry. DHS will be issuing a notice in the Federal Register formally announcing the change. More |
New York State Enhanced Driver’s License Available Beginning September 16, 2008
Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDL) will be available to drivers who can show proof of New York State residency and US citizenship this fall starting September 16th. Enhanced non-driver photo identification cards will also be available.
The EDL, which costs $80 and is valid for up to eight years, may be used as identification for travel by land and sea only between the United States and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. It may not be used for travel by air, or for any travel between the United States and any country other than those listed above.
For those reasons AAA continues to recommend a US passport as the most effective and cost-efficient identification document for international travel.
For more information on the New York State EDL visit the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles website: www.nydmv.state.ny.us/edl.htm.
