CALIFORNIA Applying for CA drivers license
I just got a REAL ID last year, do I need to resubmit my proof of identification and residency if I already did that for my REAL ID when applying for my first time DL?

I recently received a speeding ticket for 1-5 mph over the limit, reduced from 10 mph over, while driving on a temporary restricted license.
My regular license is currently revoked due to an OWI, but I have an active TRL. The trooper advised me to contact the Iowa DOT to determine how the ticket could affect my TRL and future reinstatement. A few attorneys I spoke with recommended getting clarification from the DOT before deciding whether to pay the ticket or plead not guilty.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Did the speeding conviction affect your TRL, extend your revocation, or delay reinstatement?
I understand that Reddit is not a substitute for legal advice. I’m mainly looking for similar experiences and information on what questions to ask the DOT.

But before 2018 the statue of limitations was 5 years
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

So, I have a car registered in PA with PA plates, PA inspection. I live in NY state, with a NY state license. When I went to get everything changed, my lienholder refused to transfer to NY. So I have a NY license with PA registration and plates.
However, my stepmom is a co-signer on the vehicle so technically owns it, and I also have a NYS insurance policy.
Obviously, this is complicated and to switch it to NY I would have to refinance the vehicle. But, can I even register it in NY since my stepmom is still technically an owner and lives in PA?
Is there anything I have to worry about with this?

Hi everyone!! I bought a used car out of state in Utah and had it delivered to me here in California. I paid in full with cash, so there’s no loan or lien involved.
The problem is I still haven’t received the title. The dealership originally told me it could take up to 45 days, but that passed on July 10. When I called back, they changed it and said it can take up to 60 days instead.
The dealership told me they’ve already sent everything to the Utah DMV to finalize the title/paperwork, and apparently the utah dmv takes awhile to finalize all that?. I’m not really sure what that means or if that’s normal? I thought they would just send it towards the california DMV.
This Saturday (July 25) will be 60 days, and I’m honestly not sure what to do next. I have the car, the bill of sale, temporary registration, and all of the paperwork from the purchase, but I can’t register it without the title.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it normal for the Utah DMV to take this long? If 60 days passes and I still don’t have the title, what should my next step be?
Any advice would be appreciated because I’m feeling pretty lost at this point.
Help! NYS DMV here.
In an effort to save 800$ that the dealership wanted, I bought my lease out in cash, through the actual financier (Hyundai Motor Finance).
I received the title the other day, and the odometer statement, lease buyout agreement.
I didnt buy the car from a NY state dealer, so do I just complete the MV-82 form by myself???
Is this list all I need??? I keep seeing differing accounts of what I need the more I look into it😂
Im going tomorrow, so maybe someone would know a little bit more. Thanks!
Does anyone know the route for the road test in Madison 100 plaza Blvd? Im taking the road test this Friday and trying to prepare. Tips are also welcomed 😁
If anyone is available to teach me I'll gladly appreciate it!

Hello everyone. Just wanting some insight here. I’m from South Carolina and purchased a car in California. The car is already in my possession.
It was a “private” sell but I decided use a middle-man as I wanted to be sure everything goes smoothly, a fairly reputable dealership in California that sells a lot of BMW M/AMG’s/etc. Key part is I am in communication with the owner of this business.
So essentially, I purchased the car through the dealer. Under their LLC, everything. All paper work. I paid sales tax/title registration and handling. And they said they’ll handle registering my car etc in my state. The thing is, it’s been a very “reactive” type of business. Things doesn’t get moving unless I have to check in. Couple examples. The truck for car delivery was suppose to be ordered, but when I asked for an update, he ordered it that day. No biggie. They forgot to send me my 2nd key, told me they would. 3 weeks later, I had to follow up for them to tell me they had forgotten. So it’s sent out now. So whatever.
What I really want to know is, am I overthinking. They send me my DMV paperwork to sign on June 26th. That’s the last thing I’ve signed for them to get the registration going. Here we are, July 22nd. Now I’m not expecting my plates or anything, as it may take a few weeks. BUT what I want to know is simple, have they mailed out the paperwork because the Calj plates I have on the car are expired now. So when I ask politely. Hey, did you guys happen to send out the DMV paperwork to my DMV HQ, the question NEVER gets answered. I called and left the financing manager a voicemail. Texted him. No answer, no follow up. Texted the owner. The owner will literally respond to tell me “hey I sent you key out” but ignores the question about sending the paperwork..? All I want to know is if it’s sent out lol. So I told myself ima give it till Friday and I’ll just have to be more firm. Or am I overthinking? What can I do? Keep waiting?

Saw this post earlier and see it says all test. I hold a CDL and am currently dealing with this whole deal. Has anyone has already dealt with this already or have any information. Do I need to redo Class C, Class A & endorsements? Or is it just CDL tests?

I filled out an MV-44 and sent it in in April. My license was revoked a year ago. Under “purpose for application” I selected “renew”instead of “new”. After more research it seems like I may have selected the wrong thing.
they sent me a letter saying I missed a question but nothing said I should change “renew” to “new”. Should I still change my answer or leave it as is?

Called DMV to see if my license can be sent but they have no record of issuing a license. My learner's permit is now expired and I took my road test and passed January 2025, just used the temp card while I was driving last year (not really actively driving now). On the phone they said I have to go into an office in person. What can I expect? Do I have any recourse against redoing all my tests and courses since it's been over a year? I was told the license would be automatically issued and come in the mail but it was never sent and no additional info was asked of me by DMV.
Thanks
(Post preciously rescinded: effective date)
On July 16th DMV began notifying applicants that their commercial driver license or commercial learners permit will be canceled within 30 days of the date on their letter.
An appointment must be made with a DMV Investigations office. Do NOT visit a regular field office unless downgrading to non commercial class c.
At the time of their appointment applicants will be required to complete all knowledge tests during their appointment.
If the license or permit is subsequently cancelled for non compliance or failure all knowledge and skill tests will be required in addition to the application fee and required identity and residency documents.
