Audi90 3 Posted November 27, 2012 How can I apply for a California id after I receive my ead card ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted November 27, 2012 you need to apply for a SSN, if you already do not have one. You go to the SSA office where you live. Show them your EAD along with your passport or birth certificate. Once you have your SSN, you go to the DMV, and apply for an ID. i applied for the ID the same day i took my permit test and then took my behind the wheel test a week after i got my permit. 1 Audi90 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Audi90 3 Posted November 27, 2012 Ok thanks ! For the permit test did u just study the practice test DMV provides on the websites ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcr 1 Posted November 27, 2012 Try to find out if anybody you know . has any old test from the dmv. thats pretty much what I studied and passed on the first try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted November 27, 2012 i just studied the handbook. most of it is common sense. there are 4 verisons of the written test so unless you get all 4, your studying will be limited. i just walked into the DMV and grabbed a handbook and walked out.

uclabeatsc 4 Posted November 28, 2012 I already have a social from when I entered U.S. (not valid for work), so when I go apply for a SSN..I know the number will be the same except I can work now because my EAD is approved. Question is..can I go straight to the DMV the day I apply for my SSN also since I know the number will be the same? Can you just go to the DMV with a printout to get DL or do I have to wait for the actual card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted November 28, 2012 In California you just need to know the number to write it down on the application. They will verify it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uclabeatsc 4 Posted November 28, 2012 i already have my ssn, but now it's going to be eligible to work but it's the same number. Knowing my number already, should I go to DMV now to apply for DL? Or should I wait for the information to process Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted November 28, 2012 you should be able to. they verify your SSN while your there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
