Hi guys,

So I really need to start driving. Its actually becoming a huge hinderance! Does anyone know if its possible to apply from a license, specifically in California, whilst going through the adjustment process?

Thanks!

The best place to ask would be California DMV. You can google their website and either go there in person or call. You should probably call first, to make sure you qualify for a license or to find out what exactly you need to apply for one.

Once you are ready and have all the necessary documents you can go to DMV and apply for a license.

Good luck.

Yes you will be considered a ca resident which means u only have 10 days to drive with ur current license and to obtain a new one if u wanna keep on driving. The state of CA will issue a DL when u habe the.EAD. You can try to go and take the written test now tho and just go in later when the EAD arrives to take tge road skill test and get the license. Also if you have a valid id from another state, u may only use it for the first 10 days. But when u go later and have the other state id, theyll waiver the road test

It's 10 days. The DMV has certain things they use to determine if you've taken up residence (i.e. claiming homeowner's tax exemption) but the poster I was referring to said the police didn't care what the DMV said. As far as they were concerned, he lived here and needed to have a California driver's license.
