DMVs are not good at keeping records. My neighbor has been able to renew his license every year for 20+ years without any legal status. I believe he got his first license while trying to adjust for something but he was never able to.*

There is this interesting thing that happened to me. The first time I applied for license, they had given me a full term license. 4 years?5 years? A year later, I get this letter from the DMV saying they had issued the license in error. The error meaning that expiration of the license suppose to go with the same expiration of the EAD. So they sent me a license with new expiration date, the same as my EAD. The letter also mentioned to send back the error license or to dispose of it, which I never did. I kept it. I applied for an ID few months after. All I showed was my full term license that was issued in error. They didn't mention anything about the new license. I get my ID like a week after and its a full term ID.*

Check this out...I got stopped a few weeks ago. The cops asked for my license, registration and insurance. I showed the cops my license that was issued in error because my corrected license expired. Cop went to his car to check if its valid and came back good. So weird...
