Is her name the same on each document - exactly the same?

I had an issue in GA with a renewal where I had a GA license, I went to renew but my drivers lic, and my green card did not match exactly. I think one had a middle name or initial and one didn't. It took a week to verify my docs, and issue me a new license.

Yeah, try a different office and...maybe she's taking too much info with her. When dealing with the bureaucracy sometimes it's better to show as little info as possible. Keep it simple.

a great piece of advice...
when I moved to France I was given the advice of how to deal with bureaucrats. This person explained that "as a Brit" it was my nature to be really helpful and to offer up all the information/documentation just in case it might be useful. However, the better way to proceed was to keep quiet, to not answer a question until it was asked, to not offer documentation until it was asked for. It really worked at least in France where the bureaucrats did really seem to take great delight in asking for stuff they didn't think you would have. After so many years in France, I am traumatised by it all!! I still take every bit of paper that might be needed (in a bag) and triple check everything......

Maybe it has something to do with the recently legislation change where they combined voter registration and driver registration. It's great having an unelected Governor.

I forgot to ask , was anyone wearing a hat?

If it doesn't take you three trips to at least two different DMV offices you haven't really 'experienced' the DMV

I passed my extremely difficult driving test in Dec 2015


After visits to the DMV in Inglewood, Montebello (x2) and Santa Monica (x2) I finally found someone with a brain cell, my licence arrived yesterday.


As with the Visa process, patience is your friend here!

When I applied for my license I was met with 'the computer says no'. The 'system' was requesting additional clearance from DHS (Homeland Security).

I had all of the correct documents, as they checked them from the list that they needed to see. Just told to go home and wait for the letter that would take 14 days for the additional screening to take place. No other explanation given as to why the screening was required.

Once I received the letter, I returned to the DMV and the license was processed.

I also had the same clearance delay for my wife and daughters.

MrsMe is here on an L2 and had no problem getting a driving license (after taking the test). She didn't have the EAD at that time, but we did both have SSNs. We're in MA.

I just found out that I can renew my Oregon driver license 14 months before it expires, Is there any advantage in doing this apart from the fact that the cost may increase next year?
I have less than a year to go, maybe it would be a good idea to start now so I can get all the required documents.

Suppose it depends if they add it on to the license or date the expiration from when you renew it, so losing a year.

MsElui

nope - spouse on an L2 can get an ssn without an ead - but the kids on an l2 cant get one.

Wow I must have gotten lucky!
I did my 'extremely difficult test' around October and I got my license a week later.

I feel your pain. As an L2 in NJ I have to take my L1 hubby with me. They also always ask for 3 other things that aren't listed on the state requirement page. First licenses took 12 weeks and at least 6 trips (including back to the airport) renewals have taken at least 2 trips each.... We now go to a small county DMV when they open and fingers crossed the improvement we have seen continues

That was and is my recommendation. I had similar in a busy urban office so decided to go to a more (relatively speaking) relaxed environment in a nice suburb and the license was processed efficiently.

It runs 8 years from my birth date, so it appears that I may as well apply now.
