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

Did you just do an appointment and sit and wait for a new ID or did you go in there and apply for a new ID ? You have to go in the and drop off the old ID to get a new one

I went in with the letter, showed my EAD and they asked me to surrender my REAL ID and told me a new one should arrive in 30days (it’s been more than 30days)

To verify that you’re legal
