US Border Allow Minnesota Enhanced Drivers Licence As ID

Minnesotans without a passport can now use their enhanced driver's license to cross the border.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it will now accept the license as a form of identification.

Minnesota began offering the enhanced license option in 2012.

It contains encoded data required by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for entry from Canada.

Ontario has offered enhanced driver's licenses since 2009.
