Steps to getting your 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 Adobe PDF iconWhat documents do I need to get my EDL/ID? checklist to be sure you have the documents you need.
