I few months ago I got the paperwork in the mail to come in to renew my license for 4 years for $24. About a month later they sent me another letter saying they made a mistake and renewed licenses are now $48, but good for 8 years.
So today I renewed my license--they didn't go into detail, but said they were sued and had to go back to the 4 year arrangement.
I wonder what they could have been sued over?
Overall it wasn't a bad experience at the Wallington Office, but I was looking forward to 8 years

Same thing happened to me. I thought they planned on making everyone go to the 8 year plan by 2004 or so, so I'm just hoping they don't continue w the 8 year plan after I get the 4 year one and have to go back in 2 years.
It's on their main site: The implementation of TRU-ID has been delayed. Customers should continue bringing 6 points of identification for all license and ID transactions.

not to be dense (but I will anyway), but where does it say you can't get an 8 year license? i only see that we're reverting back to 6 points of ID. was the new ID system linked to the 8 year license?

Same thing happened to me, only I had check made out for $48.00 luckily, I had my check book with me, so I made out a new check for $24.00 for 4 years, the 8 year plan was denied. Call or better yet contact MV before you go, you need certain ID papers, etc. Good Luck.
I had just gotten the letter about the 8 yr. renewal, and was so excited about it. One less thing to have to worry about in 4 yrs. Then today, I go to the DMV for my renewal, and am told at the counter that the ACLU got that blocked by court order - they claimed it was "discrimination". As if it wasn't already bad enough that when I got there, there was a huge line out the door, because "all the computers were down state-wide". What is going on with our system?? And why is the ACLU sticking their nose in something that would have been a GOOD thing for us???
it got blocked because they just decided on their own to do it, without taking public comment or going through the legislative process. it may be a good thing, but it should still be decided on by the state as a whole, not just forced upon us.

They force laws on us, why not force something good on us? They get the same amount of money. Just less bodies through the door.
