Expired CA License - Drinking
 

Today is my birthday, however today is also the day my license expires. I am going in on monday to get a new one however, I know tomorrow if i go out and drink and get carded they will refuse to serve me, however if i present my card today, is it still valid through the end of today or is it expired as of 12am this morning?

thx

call your local bmv and ask

dont know how they are in your state but when i call i get a "were to busy to take your call right now, please try back later"

lol

I don't see how your license being expired should keep you from drinking.

They require proof of age, not proof of "up to date papers"

So fuck california.

in texas they require valid identification, expired= not valid. not sure what the time of day is re: expiration. i would call da club you plan to hit and ask their policy.

happy bday!

In most states to present an expired ID as proof of who you are and your age is a crime.

lol. I live out in a rural county, so here at the local bmv office they are pretty helpful and friendly

why not go tomorrow am or at your lunch break to get a new one?

If it expires today it is still valid until the end of the day. So your good today on your Birthday but you will be fucked tomorrow if you get pulled over.

Happy Birthday

lol :1orglaugh

12am and it's done

If you have a passport, bring that. It would also be a good idea to bring a credit card, debit card, AAA card, insurance card or anything else that has your name on it.

expired id in cali = no drinking at the bar.

Just another example of irrational bureaucracy aimed at slowing down progress & used to support the least functional/streamlined government entity ever (outside of the post office & welfare).

Sure for driving it makes sense, the police want an updated ID to make sure its a correct Address. But for the purpose of verifying AGE? Correct me if I'm wrong, but a valid birth date does not need 2 be updated.

Bullshit.

california establishments are required to deny entry and sales of alcoholic beverages to persons presenting expired ids.

It depends on the place and how they profile you. I had no problem getting into places in CA with an expired out-of-state license.

Closed :winkwink:

thank you
