Hybrid driver's licence and immigration card
The US state of Vermont has forged an agreement with the country's Homeland Security Department to launch a hybrid identification card that combines a driver's licence with a border-crossing card
Following the lead of Washington State, Vermont intends to become the second border state to produce an enhanced driver's license that potentially will serve as an acceptable document for crossing U.S. borders under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
Under the travel initiative, U.S. citizens, Canadians and Mexicans crossing the land borders will need to show either a passport or a DHS-approved border-crossing card, among other requirements for sea, land and air borders, to take effect at an unspecified date in summer 2008.
