Driver's License afyer Green Card

[chatterjee1]

Now that I have my green card in hand, can I go to the DMV and get a duplicate driver's license reissued without the temporary status on it. I am from NJ and would appreciate the comments from folks who have done this before me. Do I just need to carry my green card and my 6 point verification documents? Thanks in advance for replying.

-----------------------you can do that when your present DL is going to expire

-----------------YES, I think GC has 4 or 3 points

I'm also from NJ and had temp license(expiry date was August 2007). My GC got approved in last week of June and i immediately renewed my license.

All i showed them are GC, passport, current license, SSN card and credit card.

I have been renewing my NJ DL everyyear and i did renew it on June , 2007 by showing my EAD. I got my GC on 07/23/07 . Do i need to inform DMV about my GC and get the new DL ? Pl. let me know

I don't think you have to change your DL until it is about to expire. But read up the New Jersey DMV web site to make sure.
