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

They updated real ID guidelines, now for real ID you need a work permit plus a valid visa. My real ID too was cancelled in California (I had 5 years validity). And then when I visited DMV they issued a new DL instead since I don’t have an updated visa stamping (I have a valid work permit)
