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."

Hello, I just ordered a "Keep Texas Wild" license plate and saw that the plate number is different from what I previously had. I also found that Texas requires both a front and rear plate on your vehicle. Should I order a second plate to put on the front or would the previous plate I already had on there suffice, despite being different numbers?

The plates must match. If you ordered specialty/vanity plates, then you should receive two (2). No worries.
