To get one, you have to present proof of citizenship, just as if you were applying for a passport, and the license itself has a special RFID chip like a passport does. They are only issued in the following states: Michigan, New York, Vermont and Washington. If you live in one of these states, my suggestion would be to contact the local DMV to see if you can get an enhanced commercial driver's license. Have a great day! Alison Hi David,

If you're traveling by plane, everyone needs a passport. Sure, children under 16 can use a birth certificate if they are traveling with parents, as long as you are traveling by car.

According to the MI Secretary of State's website, you do have to apply in person, even if you are already licensed.
