Question for enhanced driver's license....

[Tazzel]

Tazzel, I got my passport in 1- 2 weeks, last year. I did not have them expedite the passport. Deanna

Yes I know they were coming faster a few years ago but now the passport agencies are swamped (because of Trump ( I did not say that out loud)) and with all the uncertainties with travel, the States are overrun. The State is not guaranteeing anything before 6 to 8 weeks. All I am saying is if people you know are saying they got them in 4 weeks it is not a guarantee and to plan your trip according what is being guaranteed. Also for first time passport applicants, the agencies are really cracking down and you must allow time if the agency contacts you for further documentation or they do not like your picture or any other number of things.

Does that mean the wallet size passport won't be able to be used for boarding? My NYS license is due in a few months, and I received notice yesterday, and am trying to determine if the extra $30 is worth it.

I just read the back of the passport card, and I'll be getting the enhanced license. Thanks for the heads up.

Nope don't need it with passport card.

Card will by far over ride drivers license

I literally just did mine 2 months ago. Didn't do the expedited or anything special.. took 4 weeks when they said 6-8.

Maybe I got lucky.

Same timing here. Same result for both wife and I.

Everyone who wants to board an airplane will have to have the enhanced license at some point.

I can take my Spyder aboard an airplane?!?! Spectacular! New Zealand here we come. :yes:
