Jabber I don't know if there's that much of cost difference between U.S. enhanced driver's license and U.S. passport to travel across international borders. Why not just get the U.S. passport so that you can go into Canada...and worldwide? You never know how you and hubby might feel about travelling outside of North America within the next few years. Life is short, you might want to be more spontaneous. Quebec is a great alternative to Europe.

You live in New York State not in Nebraska....much closer to the international border than many other Americans. So higher probability of travelling cross-broder.

I get and retain the highest level of international govn't documentation ..that is my Canadian passport. It is the only ID now for all Canadians wishing to travel into the U.S. (and in other countries). That is law now in effect. Before Canadians could use their photo ID driver's license. Not anymore.

Even my dearie, before 911 incident that caused national travel laws to tighten, who could have used his drivers' license to travel into U.S. (he travelled alot for biz in his career into the U.S.), always ensured he had a valid current CAnadian passport. He needed and wanted the highest and most flexible valid govn't issued ID for international travel.

It is your strongest ID as an American citizen travelling internationally.

I absolutely value my Canadian citizenship and ..passport. I don't take it for granted.
