Now you'd need at least the enhanced Drivers license to visit Canada...

I think as the licenses come up for renewal, they're being replaced with
licenses that can serve as the Federal ID...  The Enhanced License that
I have does meet the standard for being a Federal ID...

Yeah... it was never intended to be used for ID except for the SSA...
but, ironically, I first got my SS number when I needed it for my
college to use as my ID number for them.... 

 JM> But my Medicare card does have it, only with a -A extension. 

Those are being replaced now, by a number that has numbers and letters
and has no relation to your SSN.... supposed to be more secure....

 JM> I was asked that one time and I joked, No, not convicted. 

Just a little risque there...
