I wonder if this has something to do with the DMV no longer notifying people that their licenses are scheduled to expire?
It has everything to do with a national data base with pictures for facial ID!
Here in Maine, my driver’s license was due to expire a month ago.
In May, they sent me a letter in the mailing informing me that I needed to renew my license and how to go about it.
A week before it was due to expire in July, I went to my local Bureau of Motor Vehicles, filled out a brief form, and paid them thirty dollars.
They put a sticker on the back of my old license and told me that a new license would be in the mail. The new license came a week or two later, no problems.
