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?
It’s better to have it renewed than risk it turning expired. That will definitely mess up your driving report.
It doesn’t actually expire until March. I start the new job at the start of February. So I’ll still have a bit over a month to get it done even after I get the new job and they run my records. It would just be more of a pain because the DMV is only open durring my new working hours. It’s still doable though because I could always just swing in on my lunch break.
Honestly I’m probably worrying about this way more than I should. If I wait to get it renewed then I just swing by the DMV some day on my lunch break. If I renew it now it would probably be fine and even if it did screw something up it would probably take a single email to HR to resolve it.
I can’t imagine how renewing your license will affect anything on their end. Your driving record and license number will remain the same.
