It was Jan 30. Some states are implementing, some have a 2 year extension to get their act together. You can check on your individual states drivers license website. They show what is needed to bring with you.

I know TN is.

 

Beginning January 30, 2012

The reason some people like myself are crying for is because Ive been to 2 DMV's and called the number on the letter and have gotten 3 different answers about it. 1 laughed and said "they put the cart before the horse" dont worry about it until you get another letter. 1 said "what are you talking about, even after showing them the letter they were lost" The 3rd I called the main DMV and they said do it when your license expires.
