Stand On Line? Go Online? California Offers Option To Renew Driver’s License Via Internet

SACRAMENTO (CBSLA) — The option is yours. Renew your driver’s license in person, by mail and now…the internet! The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday that driver’s license and California State ID card applications forms are now available on line. Online applicants will first need to create an online profile with the DMV then follow several steps to fill-out the new form. The DMV says you need an active phone number and email address for verification. The fine print? You will still have to go to a DMV office in person to complete the next step of the process but clerks will be able to access your information faster taking some time off the process.

North Carolina Woman Denied ‘LSBNSNLV’ License Plate To Honor Wife

written by AbbyGreenlee

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP/CBS Local) – A woman says her request for a specialty license plate to honor her wife has been denied by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. Amy Bright told WFMY-TV in Greensboro she wanted a plate reading “LSBNSNLV,” for “lesbians in love.” The DMV issued a statement saying the agency has the right to deny any license plate it deems “offensive to good taste and decency.” The Greenville woman said it’s ridiculous she can’t celebrate her wife this way. Bright notes her request has no curse words or hate speech. She said she previously had a plate reading “OUTLSBN,” for “out lesbian.” She is appealing and says she’ll sue if the appeal is denied. The DMV says it has rejected more than 7,000 license plate requests over the years. (Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

New Yorkers Urged To Sign Up For ‘REAL ID’ Ahead Of Deadline

written by EmilieTruebridg

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — You’ll soon need a new ID if you want to travel. In two years, a regular drivers license just wont cut it. If you take to the skies or travel the high seas after October 2020 you’ll need a suped up drivers license, called a Real ID, to travel if you don’t want to use a passport. “A fake drivers license is probably one of the easier things to obtain,” Robert Sinclair Jr. from AAA Northeast said. “With this extra level of scrutiny and examination, it’ll help to keep us safer.” The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles started a campaign to get people switched, saying the deadline is closer than many think. A free version of the new license will let you board a domestic flight. For an extra $30, an enhanced version can also be used in lieu of a passport to board a cruise ship or cross the border into Mexico and Canada. The DMV is passing out flyers to let people know the rules of the new program. For most, the sticking point is they’ll have to go in person to get the new license. The concept was born out of a recommendation after the 9/11 terror attacks. Nationwide security standards were established for what information was required to be attached to a drivers license. The IDs will also be needed to get into federal buildings and military bases. “It’s an attempt to make sure all states are taking as many security measures as they can,” DMV Executive Deputy Commissioner Theresa Egan said. New Jersey has had Real ID in place for sometime. New Yorkers will soon be required to go in person to DMV and sign up too. For more information, visit the DMV’s website .
