Hey guys, bit of an update; I finally got around to taking the behind the wheel test, passed with no issues. Unfortunately, my temporary license says just that "temporary", therefor I am expecting my DL /ID to be valid for only 2 years. I went to the Bellflower DMV btw, I guess this goes to show that it just depends on who processes your application and not the actual DMV office itself.

Also, the status of my application still "does not match their records" in their online system. I applied for the ID/DL 01-02-13 two weeks ago, I figured I would get at least my ID card in the mail by now.
