Hi,

I got naturalized in August and I had to renew my drivers license in California. I was eligible to renew by mail/online but I went to the local dmv office as I changed wanted to update them. A month passed and I didn't get my license so I went to the DMV office and they said that they're trying to verify my naturalization certificate and its going to take time. I showed my passport and they took a copy of it and also the naturalization certificate and spoke to someone on phone and said that everything's cleared and that I should get my license soon. Now another month has passed and I still didn't get my license and I went to the DMV again and now they're saying that they're still trying to very my naturalization certificate/passport with DHS in San Francisco and it can take up to 6 months.

I preplexed at the incompetence of the DMV. If the dept of state has no problems in issuing a passport, why does the DMV have a problem with a license despite me showing my original passport. Anyone else faced this ? Any thoughts?
 
Did you update your citizenship status with the Social Security Administration? Failure to update them is one cause of finding mismatches or other issues when government agencies or employers try to verify your status.
