    Make that two thousand dollars, Photocopy of everything and a celluar copy which is legal now in my state.

    At that point, anything that comes up is no longer a issue.

    You can't or you can use that as a temporary?Just wanna make sure that wasn't a typo.If u can't use it then what wait for days for Calif to send you a temp?That faxed copy has always worked for me and DOT never said a thing about it.

    In NH we can print out another license and order a new one online. Not sure about other states but when you renew in NH your given a printed one and have to wait up to 45 days for your new license to come in the mail.

    So, all that being said, go online and see if you can print yours.
     
    Demonrogue Thanks this.

    I will look into to it and thanks skate board. Saftey arranged for a bus ride home now my fleet manager telling me not go anywhere so I am trying work with her and clear things up of what they want me to do.

    I just called my state DMV closest to where my companies terminal and I was told I can use a photocopy of my license and that it would be up to the officer discretion in regards to it if they ask me for it as the information would still come up valid

    In Missouri, the courts have ruled that you do not have to have a copy of your license on your person to drive a vehicle. The police can pull of a copy. Stop at a police station and get a note.

    People get their wallets stolen all the time. Do you really think that the law would be so petty as to keep you from working if you had your wallet stolen?

    One never knows until he or she finds out.
