An enhanced drivers license (EDL) is not the equivalent of a passport and was designed solely to ease frequent travel by land or sea (but NOT air travel) between the United States, Canada, Mexico and some Caribbean nations.

Because of international treaties on air travel, all passengers (as well as crew) on international flightsmust possess a complete passport.
