    Mine was issued 7/16/2013

    I was given no information on expiration

    I was told by 2 20 year vets that my permit is good as long as my license is

    It's a Texas cdl permit

    I think your local DMV would be the ppl to ask.Surprised it doesn't have an expiration date.

    in utah. ANY permit is good for 2 weeks to 6 months. and comes with an expiration date of 6 months from issue date.
    but our licenses are also only good for 5 years.

    don't know if it still stands but my sister once lived in arizona. when she got her license. it was good for 25 years. don't know on permits though.

    I'm in Texas too and the DPS told me that it was good until my DL expired. But, when I got the paper permit, it had an expiration date on it, 90 days later I believe. My school was concerned when I had to cancel my road test the first time because of the expiration date.

    I'll dig out my papers and see if I still have it. I would call the DPS first thing in the morning though.

    I lost my wallet in AZ once. I needed to get ID to hop on a plane, so I took my Birth Cert. down to their DMV and got an AZ ID Card, with the hotel's address. When they gave me the card, I noticed no expiration date. Asked the clerk about it and she told me that AZ ID's never expire. So I kept that ID with my personal papers, since if I ever lose my wallet again, I will have ID that is legal that I can use.

    I advise anyone who passes thru AZ to get one. You can get an ID card without having to surrender a DL. It could come in handy some day.
