(KNX 1070) -- Over 150,000 Californians who paid for driver's licenses aren't getting them yet.
It looks like that Department of Motor Vehicle license renewal problem could be more widespread than first thought.
It originally had to do with about 150,000 drivers with an expiration date between January 20 and May 31, who completed their renewals shortly after receiving their notice, but upon further review, the DMV discovered the renewal issues impacted a broader range of customers.
THREAD 1/2: If you renewed your driver license or identification card between the months of September and February and have not received your card, DMV is updating customer records and will be sending your card shortly. To request your card status, please use the Nonreceipt form.

The DMV is blaming the mistake on the rollout of REAL ID. The DMV has sent out renewal notices earlier than usual, and its system hasn't been able to handle the influx.
Republican Assemblyman Jim Patterson, a leading critic of the DMV, tells KNX the department knew about this problem for months.
The DMV says it's processed most of the delayed renewals, and everyone should have their licenses in the mail in the next two to three weeks.You can report a delayed license delivery through a special link on the DMV's website.
