WIVB Asking 4 You

"OK, so I get an enhanced drivers license. What about the other people in my vehicle? Wife, kids? etc.?"

Right now everyone in your car needs to have an original birth certificate and photo ID to return from a trip to Canada. Beginning in June 2009, all passengers over age 18 will need either an EDL or a passport. Children until 18 still need to have a birth certificate, but for $10 plus the $30 EDL fee, you can get a Non-Driver ID card for the kids. I recommend this option; it's great for airline travel for kids as well when airport security asks everyone for photo ID for the family vacation.
