Did mine online last night. Mine didn't expire unti 12/2021 but I got a letter that said to do it before October to beat the rush. $25 later, I'm being sent my new license with the old picture.
It is pure laziness for those 20 % that haven't done it. You have been warned so there is no excuse. I understand if yours doesn't expire for a bit, but there will a big crunch the closer it gets to the deadline. You can get it early! I hope airports have big signs at the entrances and through check points telling everyone! But it will be bad in October when the change begins!
I fall into the "pure laziness" category! I never got a letter about it, and I thought you only needed the gold star version to travel , and I have a passport, so I'm good to go , right?
It's not pure laziness... Mine expires in Sept '22 and I tried to renew, but the DPS site says I can't renew it yet. Until then, I will travel with my passport.
