What are the benefits of an EDL?
* A convenient wallet-sized card that's your licence to drive and proof of your identity and citizenship.
* The latest security features to prevent fraud and identity theft.
* A less expensive alternative to a passport for business or pleasure travel to the U.S. by land or water.

To be eligible for an EDL you must:

    * be a Canadian citizen and a B.C. resident
    * provide the required identification to prove your identity and citizenship
    * be legally entitled to travel outside of Canada (refer to the entitlement-to-travel questionnaire)
    * be 16 years of age or older, and
    * if you are under 19 years of age, bring a parent or legal guardian to your appointment.


Required identification

To apply for an EDL, you must provide three pieces of acceptable identification to verify your identity and citizenship:

    * a Canadian birth certificate or Canadian citizenship document
    * a Canadian or U.S. driver's licence, and
    * one piece of additional identification.

Note: All identification documents must be originals. Copies will not be accepted. Refer to Your Guide to B.C.'s Enhanced Driver's Licence Program (see pages 3-8) to learn more about acceptable identification.
