California Driver's License Expiry?
Find answers to your legal question.

Hello,

I moved to the US (perm resident) and recently passed the all the requirements at the DMV and have now received the real license in the mail.

I passed on February 26. The Interim License expires on April 26. The actual license I received expires May 6. The license begins with the letter "E" unlike my wife's which starts with a letter "D".

I would like some info on why the license is expiring so soon. I tried the DMV website but I couldn't find any info. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Additional Details
I forgot to add in case it is a factor, I am 26 years old.

CA license's should expire on your birthday (which I'm assuming is May 6th?) and it should be every 4 years. I got married last year, and had to get a new license, and it expires in 2011, on my birthday.
Hope that helps!
Oh yeah, and the beginning doesn't matter I don't think. My mom's didn't start with a 'D" like mine either, so I don't think it means anything significant. Perhaps just the timing on when each of you got your license?
