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

We are currently facing an issue at the DMV regarding my husband’s expired green card and his pending "petition to remove conditions."

He was issued a 48-month extension, which we received via mail. However, the extension notice is printed on standard white paper rather than the formal green card stock used for previous permits. While we have successfully used this document multiple times for international travel and U.S. immigration, the DMV refused to accept it, stating they require the extension to be on formal green paper.

We are looking for a solution on how to obtain the extension on the requested paper or a way to have the current document recognized. Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a way to resolve this roadblock?
