Michigan-Enhanced Drivers License
Michigan-Enhanced Drivers License
A friend of mine just got an Enhanced Drivers License from the State of Michigan. He claims that it serves the same purpose as a passport and the size is more convenient for sure. he did say that you could not go to Europe with it cost-$40.00. Anyone have one of these and how is it working.

This is off of the Secretary of State website...
The enhanced driver's license is a cost-effective and convenient document that meets driving, identification and border-crossing needs. It is a federally approved document that allows you to re-enter the U.S. when traveling by land or sea from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean. While not required, the enhanced license is an excellent alternative to a standard license because it is especially handy for business travel, vacations or quick trips. Several states, in addition to Michigan, offer an enhanced license.
Looks like it is good for land or sea travel....but no mention of air travel. I would guess that it is mostly used for people who are back and forth over the Canadian border a lot.
