Saskatchewan residents receive passport alternative when traveling south of the boarder
Canadian Press
Saskatchewan residents looking to travel south of the border by land or water are getting an alternative to a passport. The provincial government said Wednesday that starting April 2009, residents can apply for an enhanced driver's licence or identification card. “This enhanced card will be useful for people who live close to the borders who make frequent travel across the border in their vehicle, who don't really want to carry a passport all the time,” said Saskatchewan Government Insurance spokeswoman Sherry Wolf. “It's a convenient option for that purpose.” The cards would contain a chip with a code that would be scanned as the holder approaches a border point. Border officials would then be able to use that code to access information.
