Here in CA it's only every 10 years........Yet we're supposed to be a communist state, according to all the teabaggers in flyover country (who it turns out have some of the most repressive & outdated laws against personal privacy & liberties).

In Michigan, if your DL is new and fresh with your ugly mug, it expires in 5yrs but at that time you can renew via mail, phone, or net for 4 years. So then after 9yrs you must go back in the Secretary of State (Michigan's version of the dmv) and get your new freshly updated picture DL.

Why am I not surprised?

God, you're just perfect, and we're all just doing it wrong.

Baaaaaaaaah for me, wouldja?

You sure have a hard on for AL, huh?

I live in the same state as Rice and have the same questions.

Rice, Why couldn't you do it online?

I just renewed mine in June (4 days after my b-day) online with no issues.

Baaaah.

Because it was more than 30 days expired. I thought an eye test was mandatory every 5 years too.

That sucks about the 30 days.

Luckily you didn't get pulled over on an expired license. That's how I found out mine was out of date.

florida's "dmv's" are privately run. they're freakin disasters. i remember trying to go, and getting there about 30 minutes before they opened. there was already a "line" of non-english speakers 50 people deep. many didn't understand (or maybe just didn't care?) that lines are supposed to have some sort of order.
