Sorry but maybe I'm not understanding something, but why would you need to update things with SSA and DMV? Is there any difference between how they treat permanent residents and citizens?

Yes. For the DMV, the license is no longer tied to the legal presence document. For the SSA, good question.

I registered to vote on the oath ceremony day at the local USCIS. The local USCIS advised us to wait for 10 days to update with SSA, but said we could apply for a passport right after the oath ceremony in fact, they were helping with the passport applications there as well. However, I didn't do it right there.

I went to the SSA office two weeks after the oath ceremony and updated my status and they said I should receive a new card in the mail within two weeks. Yesterday, I applied for a US passport.

My license is expiring within 10 months so I will wait when I apply for a new card to update my status with DMV. However, USCIS didn't mention about updating the status with DMV. They mentioned that updating with SSA was important to receive benefits in the future.
