Requirements vary by state, but in all cases you must be a U.S. citizen and a resident of the state you're applying in. An EDL generally costs about $30 more than a regular driver's license, a considerable saving over a $130 passport. As an added bonus, it conveniently fits into the wallet.

To apply, visit your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. In most situations, bring the same identification as you would when applying for a regular driver's license. Play it safe, however, and call your DMV before visiting for a complete list of needed documents.
