Should I keep my enhanced driver's license in its anti-RFID sleeve?

The protection is really against someone bumping up against you and stealing the encoded information with a concealed device. These occurrences are very rare and don’t lead to much as the info is just a number that is tied to the person’s “Passport” profile. The only people this number makes any sense to are the customs and immigration people. The sort of idea is that no one will try and create a duplicate with that serial number and use it to TRY and get past the border.

That being said, it is better to keep it in an RFID blocking enclosure of some kind. The same applies to most modern credit cards and full passports. There are wallets out there that have a mesh lining that blocks RFID signals. I suggest one of those to hold their drivers license as well as their normal credit/debit cards. Especially for your credit cards which could be duplicated and charged.
