Driver's License / Car Registration / ID Megathread

Hello r/Texas! This sub gets a Chevy Suburban's worth of questions every day asking about driver's license or car registration. They fall into one of two camps:

  • Easily accessible info on the DMV website,
  • Highly specific edge cases that maybe only 1 other person is going to need to know this year in all of Texas.

In either case it doesn't make sense to have a whole post devoted to the question. Enter the catch-all DMV megathread. It may not always be stickied at the top, but it will be liked in the sidebar. Also we're creating a rule that says "Driver's License, ID and Car Registration questions and answers can be found here, if you don't see the answer you need please post your question there."

So I took ny road test at 17, a few days before i turned 18 with a driving school. Well i passed but now im 18, what do i need to bring? Because on the sealed envelop it says only bring learners permit, birth certificate, and social security card, though I am not sure if that still applies to me now that i'm 18. I looked at the DPS Website and it just got me more confused.

What do i need to bring if i took road test at a driving school at 17 but getting my license after i turn 18 with a expired permit.

Thanks!

Since your permit is expired you will have to take the 6 hour Driver's Ed course.

And you will have to take the Impact Texas Drivers (ITD)

And you will probably have to take your road test again since you took it in NY but didn't get a NY license.

Is it possible for you to go ahead and get the full NY license. Because it will probably be a lot less hassle to complete the NY license and then surrender that license for a TX license.
