When I get my new licence..?
Find answers to your legal question.





When I get my new licence..?

I'm getting a new licence soon because mine expired. Will I have the same licence number?

Also, what exactly is the point of having licences expire?
Additional Details
Hmm.. actually I'm in the US (CA), and there's nothing wrong with my spelling o_o

Your license number will stay the same.

The point of having a license expire is so that your vision can be rechecked, maybe verify you haven't lost any limbs, update you photo, and keep the general population safe from drivers who can't or shouldn't be on the road.

You should but rules and laws vary from state to state. You should call the local DMV office and find out for sure.

yes your number stays the same. The idea that the license expires is partially to take more of your money, but also it helps with their book keeping

Same number......and you have to renew so they can make so that you are still o.k to drive.

Depends on your state/country. Seeing as you aren't in the US (from your spelling), I don't know.

The point of renewals is to make sure you can't get away with showing an invalid license for too long.

Yes...same number.

point...?... to check eyes, refresher test on signs, update information
and to collect more money ;-p

Hope this helps

well for one because they keep coming up with new better security methods for the license card...plus its just so they can make sure that you still have all ur documents and all that stuff! its for safety purposes... i think the license number stays the same

You will have the same license number.

One reason that might be that you need a new license is because when people get older, their physical traits change, or new traffic laws are in effect and the expired license is a sign to the DMV that you need to be update on the laws and retake a test. Also because your physical traits change (weight, needing glasses, etc.) they need an updated card with an updated photo and information to keep their records current.

so that the government has a current picture of you in case something happens.

i dont know if its still the same number becouse i dont check it when i renew my license, the used of renew is to be updated once again the new rule and regulations in the road to avoid accident and test your driving skill
