I can’t answer some of your questions but I hope my experience gives you some insight on potential issues you may encounter. I renewed my license online but tried to “mail forward” to my current residence. During the mail forwarding process the license was kicked back to Trenton dmv. Where it sat for 6 months, I called every single day for months and when I finally got through they told me what had happened. I had to change my address and then resubmit my license to the new address.

You might be better off taking the day off and coming down to get the new Lic.

Could you clarify a little more about the addresses? So you originally put down your out of state address and it didn’t work so you had to change it to a prior address you had in state?

If that’s the case I could just mail it to a member of my family in state and have them mail it out to me when they receive it.

Also taking the day off is not an option unfortunately, mailing is sort of my only shot.

The DMV will only mail a license to the address on the license. (I certainly hope they changed this rule for your sake.)

I had all these issues trying to forward to an address in Jersey. When the USPS received my license at the forwarding location they were forced to return it to sender. Best of luck
