Title pretty much says it all. I just got accepted for a new job at a new employer and they’re going to be running a check on my driving record. However my liscense is expiring shortly so I want to get it renewed. Ideally I want to get it renewed before I actually start the new job because once I start I will be working durring DMV hours. But I don’t want to delay things with my new employer or iritate them by messing up the MVR check.
So can I safely get my drivers liscense renewed now or should I wait until after I start at the new job and the MVR check is done?
None of the relevant information changes (DL#, your actual driving record, your identity, etc), it’s mostly just to update photo and address if that’s changed, then give you a fresh card with a new expiry date. This will have no effect on your employer doing a driving records check. May as well do it while you know you have the time available.
They did want a picture of my liscense but, thinking about it now, that was probably just for my I9. Like you said, they should only need the number to run my record.
