ramja96 Posted August 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Can you use an enhanced driver license for your documentation at check-in? My friend is trying to enter the number on his and it isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted August 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Are you sure it is an EDL, and not a Real ID license? Only five states have EDL’s. NC is not one of them, if that is where your friend is from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WELDON Posted August 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If using an EDL, your friend will also need a birth certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don't - I've been cruising since 2014 with only my EDL. ETA: As stated above: make sure the doc has a flag and not a star on it. Also - the doc ID is not the license number - it's the numbers and letters following USA on the back.

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted August 4, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) An Enhanced Driver's License is acceptable for a closed loop cruise from Seattle to Alaska. No birth certificate or other document would be needed. Glad to hear that the OP's friend is actually from a state that issues Enhanced Driver's Licenses. There are so many folks who mistakenly believe that their Real ID DL is an Enhanced DL. Just a reminder that Enhanced Driver's Licenses are only issued from these 5 northern border states: MI; MN; NY; VT and WA.
