Q: I just paid my registration online, but forgot to change my address. Can I go back online to make the correction so I can receive my registration tags at my new address?
A: Unfortunately, it is too late. When you pay for your registration tags online, our system immediately updates your information and your tags are mailed to you in approximately three days. Changing your address takes our system a little longer to update. If you do not receive your new registration tags within 30 days, please apply for duplicate registration tags.

Q: What happens if applicants, under AB60, cannot provide the primary identification documents necessary to verify their identity and residency to obtain an original driver license?
A: AB 60 applicants may provide additional documentation to verify their identity and residency through the Secondary Review process. An appointment will be scheduled to meet with our specially trained staff in order to review the additional documentation which must be original or certified. The interview may last as long as one hour.
The following documentation may be considered during this appointment: school documents, marriage license or divorce decree, expired foreign passports, foreign driver license, income tax return, and other DMV approved documents. For a full list of DMV approved documents visit ab60.dmv.ca.gov .
If an applicant cannot provide the necessary documentation to verify identity and residency, the AB60 driver license application will not be completed. Individuals can appeal the decision through the DMV Driver Safety Appeal process.
