I have a passport. I think I'll wait until they force me to buy a new license.
Our Gov. Paterson saw fit to change the surcharge on this Enhance Drivers license from $20.00 to $ 30.00 dollars. This means you will have to pay $80.00, and if you still have time left on your license you still needed to change to the Enhance one. If you choose not to you''' need a passport.
The enhanced license will have few changes one will be adding the American flag stating you're from America. The Second will be the word ENHANCED on the front, and I can't forget to mention it will have a radio chip or shall I saw a tracking chip embedded. With this Enhance license you will be able to travel to border crossings such as Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean beginning June 2009.

How much does it cost to get a passport? Will this enhanced license get me home from Canada?

Passports are $100 for adults, and good for 10 years.Originally Posted by mesue
The enhanced NY licenses will get you home from driving to Canada. (not flying)
These are the same thing as a Passport Card. A Passport Card lasts 10 years and renews at $20. I think I would go with a Passport Card. I took the survey at the DMV site and told them as much.Originally Posted by 300miles

Yeah, the Passport Card is a cheaper alternative, and I find it interesting that the local media don't seem to even mention its existence.
The benefit of the Passport Card is that it's cheaper, and not tied to NYS budget tricks.
The benefit of the enhanced NY Licence is that you'd only need 1 ID in your wallet.
(Keeping in mind that neither one can be used for Air Travel)

And what happens if you drive to Canada without the enhanced or the passport...on the way back they'll make you live forever in a troll house in the middle of the bridge?
The difference between taxes and robbery is the mode of coercion.
I thought this license was going to be available starting this June, not next year? Did something change?
