ALERTA conductores con DMV: 325,000 californianos reemplazarán sus licencias REAL ID por este preocupante ERROR

Overview

  • A legacy 2006 configuration applied standard renewal periods instead of authorized-stay expirations, producing incorrect dates on some licenses.
  • About 325,000 people are affected, roughly 1.5% of California Real ID holders according to the agency.
  • Notifications will go out in the coming weeks and months with instructions for obtaining replacement credentials at no cost through an expedited process.
  • Most impacted individuals are lawful permanent residents and visa holders, and the DMV does not issue Real IDs to undocumented immigrants.
  • No action is required for nearly 99% of holders, and the DMV warns against scam texts or emails while offering a verification line at 1-800-777-0133.
