How long does it take to get an enhanced drivers license?

It can vary depending on the state, but generally it takes around 6-8 weeks to receive an enhanced driver's license. Here's a breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Gather required documents

- Proof of identity (e.g., birth certificate, passport)

- Proof of lawful presence (e.g., permanent resident card, work authorization)

- Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement)

- Social Security Number

- Current driver's license

Step 2: Complete an application

This can typically be done online or in person at a state DMV office.

Step 3: Pay fees

Fees for an enhanced driver's license vary by state, but typically range from \$20-\$50.

Step 4: Schedule an appointment

After your application is approved, you'll need to schedule an appointment to visit a state DMV office. At this appointment, you'll have your photo taken, provide fingerprints, and take a vision test.

Step 5: Receive your enhanced driver's license

Once the background checks are complete, your enhanced driver's license will be mailed to you. The timeframe can vary, but typically it takes 6-8 weeks.
