Enhanced Driver License/ID Card (EDL/ID)

Important information

If you need to apply for an EDL/ID within the next few weeks, please come early and come prepared. Recent federal changes to the identification document requirements at U.S. border crossing stations have greatly increased the demand for the Enhanced Driver Licenses and ID Cards.

Come early: You won’t be able to start an EDL application after 2 p.m. on weekdays or after noon on Saturdays.
Come prepared: Please use the What documents do I need to get my EDL/ID? checklist to be sure you have the documents you need.

Tips for getting your EDL/ID

Be sure to bring proof of citizenship, identity, and residence when you visit the office. If your name has changed, bring documentation of the change. We must have these documents to process your application.
Be ready to pay the fee by cash, check, or money order. We cannot accept debit or credit cards at this time.
If possible, delay getting your EDL/ID until later this summer or fall.
