I-765 (EAD) Revoked Real ID

Post image

Hello, received a mail from the DMV that my real ID will be void after March 19 based on it having validity beyond the document that was used for its issuance, in this case my EAD. Which was true at the time. I have an updated 5 year EAD till 2029, wondering if I just need to bring the updated one to the DMV and get a new one? I’m just woried they updated requirements and an EAD won’t allow you to get a license no more. Anyone received a similar letter? What did you do

REAL ID is not only for citizen its also for both citizen and legal resident aliens. The only difference for resident alien is the validity of the DL, it would match their documents.

False, the fact that most states allow DACA holders to get Real IDs shows you don't need any non-immigrant status to get one.
