Efforts to enhance security while making it convenient for frequent travelers to easily cross back and forth between Canadian/U.S. and Mexican/U.S. borders have resulted in an easy-to-use new driver’s license for interested Michigan drivers, in lieu of a passport or passport card.
According to excerpts from the story:
LANSING - Michigan residents will be able to get driver's licenses next spring that will also get them back across the Canadian and Mexican borders, Secretary of State Terri Land announced Monday.
Land and U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials signed an agreement Monday in Detroit that will allow the department to issue licenses that comply with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
The federal law requires the new licenses, or a passport or federal passport card, beginning June 1, 2009, for return from Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
