WIVB Asking 4 You

"Hello, My drivers license doesn't expire until 2012. Do I lose those years that I still have left and pay what ever the cost is, (extra $), for the Enhanced License? Also, what is the extra cost? And will it be good for 8 years like my current license?

No, the good news is that you don't lose the extra years. If you come into the auto bureau, you can apply for a new EDL license that will be pro-rated so you don't have to pay any extra. To start a new eight year license, you will get credit for the time you have remaining, and then pay the difference (the computer will calculate the amount). You will also need to pay the $30 extra fee for the EDL. Be sure to bring in the proper documents so you don't waste time. Check out this link http://www.erie.gov/depts/government/clerk/pdfs/EDLs.pdf for details on requirements and our locations. Note that the Mobile locations and ECC North location are unable to offer EDLS at this time. Best locations are Buffalo and Cheektowaga. Good luck!
