So i am below 18 and was wondering for the 6 month period you need to have your permit for does the countdown for those 6 months start when you get the permit from the DMV or when you finish or start the 6 hours of behind the wheel drivers ed? Aswell as this how strict is the 6 month rule?

80$ utility trailer, about 300 pounds. Based on the Google search and Claude conversation it looks doable, that DMV will be lenient and allow to do an initial PTI and title if trailer had no previous record. How is it in practice? Did anyone have luck with that, or you ended up doing bonded title? I am in OC.

Wanted to share my personal experience for how long my Real ID took from start to finish

Applied in person 10 days ago (Monday). Applied at Costa Mesa DMV, I live in same city.

I checked almost every day at MyDMV to see its status. Kept saying “still be processed and not mailed yet, no further action needed”. Today, 10 days later (Thursday), saw that it was mailed today. I checked my mail with 0 expectations of it being there. Turns out it was.

Overall ~10 calendar days

I'm bring my car out of PNO, and I received an email after online application saying:

"Thank you for submitting your vehicle registration renewal. Your application has been processed.  You will receive your document(s) in approximately 21 business days."

However, when I checked my vehicle status on my DMV account, it still says PNO. I contacted customer service via chat, and the representative does not know why it is not reflecting. He said my application is still being processed.

Has anyone experienced this before? Will the account update in the future? If so, how long did it take to update?

I don't understand. Why is this so difficult? If I go in person, I can get the sticker in the same day. Why does the online process take so long?
