Dear Traveler: I would like to take my 54-year-old special-needs sister with me to visit relatives in Windsor, but she doesn't have a passport or driver's license. How can she cross the border? She does have a state ID card. — Canada Bound
Dear Bound: Sadly, the border between the two nations is definite and strict these days, with no room for exceptions. The good news is that Michigan offers an enhanced state ID card, which, just like an enhanced driver's license, can be used in place of a passport at Canada-U.S. border crossings.
Take your sister to apply at any Secretary of State branch (make an appointmentahead of time and find out which documents to bring). It takes about two weeks to get the new card, which costs $30. For more details, contact the Secretary of State atwww.michigan.gov/sos/ or call 888-767-6424.
