California DMV New Federal ID Requirement


I have a CA Driver's license and a Mexican Driver's license.

The new federal ID will be a requirement by 2020.

Do I have to renew my CA Driver's license (go in with my SS card, my birth certificate, proof of residence and then get photographed by facial recognition equipment) or can I legally drive in the U.S. with my Mexican license?

Jan, Alaska is going through the same scenario,because they dragged their feet getting set up to issue a DL that meets the new standards.

Your license should still be valid for driving until it expires, but will not be accepted for things like boarding domestic flights.

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
