Why do Enhanced 3-in-1 driver license or identification cards contain RFID chips?
The RFID chip is there to help people cross the border faster. U.S. DHS will use the RFID to begin the query to determine if you are authorized to enter the U.S. while you are still waiting in line. Beginning in January of 2008, a verbal declaration will no longer be sufficient to enter the United States; you must show proof of U.S. citizenship. An Enhanced 3-in-1 license will be accepted for land and sea border crossing purpose. The U.S. DHS maintains the border crossing stations.
