B.C.'s enhanced identification card

B.C.'s enhanced identification card (EIC) is a travel document you can use to enter the U.S. at land and water border crossings—it's ideal for those that don't drive or are 12 years of age and older.

Like an enhanced driver's licence (EDL), an EIC denotes your identity and Canadian citizenship.
