Sometime after I got back from washington, my driver’s license went AWOL. Now this isn’t life alteringly bad. I drink rarely and drive even less often. But a dl is essential for future car rentals or carshare programs (and there will be a car share program with a lot in uptown before next school year). A complicating factor is that I never got a MN license, or even converted my CA license address to the last location I lived in CA.
Now, unless I’m mistaken, my options are keep cleaning, and hope I run across it, try to get a replacement CA license, somehow, or go through the entire license rigamarole in MN, including on-road driving test, and whatever sort of parallel parking bullshit they require. Laziness bites me in the ass yet again. Joy. When will we start getting the cars that drive themselves, anyway? It’s 20042005, science is lagging. =)
It’s 2004, science is lagging. =)
Umm, actually… 😉
Err, noted and fixed. I guess it’s not just science that’s lagging 😉
Well…there’s always this one…
MN requires a full driving test for “new” residents? That sucks. For me, too, since I’ll be there at the end of March.
When I got my IA chauffeur’s endorsement (needed for a residential treatment home where I worked), I would have automatically failed if I drove 1 mph faster than I did in a school zone. I hate driving tests. 🙁
Well, no, I just have no proof of prior driver’s-license-having-ness
Ah. I am dumb for having asked.
Probably, just go to a MN DMV, and they can contact CA and find out you had a valid drivers license there through the magic of modern computer technology. Of course, being the DMV it will probably take you hours in line and patiently talking to several different brands of idiots.
good idea
I’ll have to check that out.
Let me know if you need me to do any paperwork for you in CA.
Driver’s License
Ok…I know I am not in the same state but I am sure they can’t be too different. I know that all states can look up other states license information. We used to do it all the time at the BMV in Ohio. They can contact CA and make sure that your CA license is valid and then go about having it changed to MN. To check out the requirements for MN driver’s license and practice test check out this link http://www.dmv.org and you can check out the rules for all the states by just clicking on the state you want. Hope this helps!
