Citizenship Interview: driver's license required?

[Spout 9]

Hi,

 

I noticed that my driver's license expires in 6 months.

I intend to apply next month, meaning I could have my interview around that time.

In case my interview happens while I'm renewing my driver's license, would it be a problem to show up with the temporary driver's license (the paper form)?

There's a convenient procedure in California to renew the driver's license by mail/online, but it's only allowed 2 months before expiration.

Otherwise, if I want to do it earlier, I would have to go in person to the DMV, but they would take away my current DL, and I'm not sure about the timing (I don't think the DL is required for biometrics)

Maybe I'm overthinking it, and the green card, passport, and proofs of residence (tax transcript, bills), would be enough, but the driver's license is part of the documents to bring at the interview (https://www.uscis.gov/archive/blog/2013/10/applying-for-citizenship-what-to-know)

What do you guys think?

 

Thanks

Not a problem

Ok, you mean by that the DL is not a big deal?

I believe the only reason you need a DL is to prove residency in the state you are filing from.

Yeah, I think so too.

I called the DMV, if I go in person they void the card (it will have a hole on it) and give a temporary paper license.

With both docs, it should equal an ID
