Renewal ID Card CA

[califguy]

My ID card from California is going to expire soon. I am out of status. I do however have a SS#. On the DMV website , they only require my previuos ID card, fill out a form, provide my SS# and pay the fee. Am I going to get later on a letter from them telling me that they cannot issue the ID card because I am out of status? Do they really check when they are dealing with a renewal? I forgot to say that I had this ID for the last five years
Thanks

Hi Califguy,

No, you will not be asked for anything when you are renewing your CA ID. The DMV offices process hundreds of applications, renewals, vehicle registrations on a daily basis. If they checked every single one of the applicants there will be a huge backlot in the DMV processing time.

If you happen to get a DMV clerk who will ask you for something, then just say casually that you didn't bring anything with you but your old ID. I was also afraid of renewing my license the first time it expired, but after filling up the application and showing them my old expired ID, all they did was take my new picture and ask for the payment...I received my new license (and they give you back your old one, you just show it) in the mail two weeks later. By the way, I am also from California, in L.A. specifically.
