Drivers license expiration?

I live in NJ and I recently renewed my license. I was looking at my license and it was issued on 11/14 then it expiered on 1/17.

Now, I looked at it, it says 1/17 and expires on 11/18.

how long is your DL until it expires? Does it matter what DMV you go to?

My expiration date is 3 months after EAD expires. It should not matter the DMV you go to.

Mine expires the day of. I went into Illinois DMV to replace a lost DL which had an expiration in 2018, they looked at my EAD and now my DL expires the day my EAD expires which is in March 2017. I effectively lost 1 year of driving privileges.

So without EAD you can't renew it?

Can't you just get the other license, Illinois gives one to immigrants. You can drive, just not board an airplane with it.

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...

Which one is that?

Temporary Drivers licence, a law passed a few years ago allows illegal immigrants to drive legally if they are Illinois residents for 1 year + . It is not a valid form of ID, but it is good to drive and obtain insurance. Makes roads safer

Also, I just renewed my id. I did not need to show a new work permit, they checked that I got mine renewed I am sure. I did it over the phone. I got my DL over the mail. I am sure they check elegibility, My DL expires on 2021.

Why did I get screwed over then?
