    Here is the problem/vent- please suggest what to do--

    In March my DL expired. Before it did, I, of course, went to DMV for renewal. I was handed out a temporary DL and sent home. The expiry date on the temporary DL is in June.
    I took it easy and expected the DL to come by its sweet time.

    Now we are in June and I am starting to worry why my DL hasn't reached me yet. I know I can call them and find out- I am planning to do it tomorrow.

    As I am not a SHAM anymore, it's becoming impossible to research or call or get hold of anyone to find out what's happening.

    Did anyone face this/ similar situation?

    What if my temporary DL expires and I still don't have the DL? What to do next? Ubering around will break my wallet. Will I be able to uber with my almost 2-year old?

    Please suggest what to do.

    Hi,
    I faced same problem. My dmv have send the license,since my name was not written inside our mail box,so mail man returned back to DMV.i came to know only after callling DMV office. Usually they will renewed licenses within 15 days. I also waited till temporary visa expired. I again went to DMV office, showed all documents paid 5$ fine and again got temporary license. Once coming back from DMV, I stocked my name inside mail box. I got license in one week.

    Update- So, I called the DMV to find out the status of my DL.
    The answer that I received is that my DL hasn't been shipped out and is under legal verification. I wonder what legal verification is being done for last 5 months.

    Anyways- I was told I can get an extension on my temporary DL- which I did.

    Anyone facing a similar situation? Where you have been classified as "legal verification"?

    What does it even mean legal verification that DMV does? Immigration-- I can understand, but DMV?!!!:sconf::sconf::thinking:

    Should I read into this connected to political situation or not?
