Imagine not being able to just do it online, or through the post, decades ago.

My guess is no though, and you should be renewing it in advance.

If you're pulled over for any reason and the officer sees that your license is expired, then yeah you're in trouble. Driving with an expired license is a violation.

The DMV workers won't question it once you're there though. So up to you if you want to try getting to the DMV on your own.

If you go to your state's DMV website, they should have a way for you to print a temporary license that you can use to go get your new photo card. I had the same issue before, wasn't a problem getting the temporary license/permit/whatever.

I did mine online a few weeks ago in about 5 minutes,printed out a temporary copy. Try that if you can.

I would expect a "fix it ticket" if you get pulled over on the way.

I mean it's been expired since November and I just don't get pulled over... I'm just wondering how the process works. When I get inside and do the paperwork, will they give me something like a paper receipt to show I renewed it while the card comes in the mail?

Generally, yes, once you renew, they give you a temporary paper license until the real one comes in the mail.

last year when they had a huge backlog of license tag renewal they didn't stop anyone for expired tags.
backlog took forever etc. the cops understood they didn't have time for small time shit.

even was hell trying to my own ID renewed. they had to cancel my appointment because of the wildfire smoke and had to book another day which was early as hell in the morning.

Officer's will often take your license if you're caught driving in a suspended license. They don't care about taking expired ones though. I still have all of my old licenses, including the provisional license I got when I was 16.

I mean, you could say you forgot it, but I think stores aren't supposed to give you alcohol with an expired card.

It is like a 2 minute process either online or in person. They just want your money. If they give you a temporary license or not (which obviously they do) doesn't matter considering you already have nothing.

TLDR: Renew your license doofus

I hate that some states do that. It's the "Registry" of motor vehicles in mine. I still call it dmv though.

It's BMV in my new state too, I hate it.

Anyway, TC you could have just taken an uber/lyft or the bus.
Also, don't forget to make an appointment online for speed.

Edit: I interpreted it as your car's plates were expired, not your driver's license.

Just don't get pulled over. The people at the DMV aren't going to ask how you got there. For all they know you had somebody else drive you.
