Can i go to NY state DMV before im 17 to give them my completion form so I can get a class D licence?

Question

I live in NY and i passes my road test before i completed drivers ed. My drivers ed instructer told me that i should go before my 17th birthday so they send it to me by my birthday. However on the NY state DMV website it says not to go before you turn 17. Looking for someone who has experiance with this situation before....thanx

Answer 1

You do have to wait till your actually 17. They will give you a temporary while you wait for your license so its really the same. You might want to ask your drivers ed instructor if he knows some loop pole but otherwise, going on your birthday (or after) is what you have to do.

If you have a Class DJ junior license, and you complete a high school or college driver education course, you can change your Class DJ junior license to a Class D senior license when you are 17 years old.



Not before. Seems clear enough to me.



The rest of it:



To change the class of your driver license, you must have a driver education certificate (MV-285) issued from a DMV-approved driver education program. You cannot use another certificate.



If you do not have an MV-285, the DMV automatically changes your driver license from Class DJ to Class D on your 18th birthday. The DMV automatically mails you a new driver license that indicates "Class D". You will not get this document faster if you visit a DMV office.



On your 18th birthday, your driver record indicates that you are a Class D driver. There is no need to wait until you have your new Class D driver license before you drive as a senior driver. You can drive as a senior driver on your 18th birthday.



Give your driver education certificate (MV-285) to the DMV examiner after your road test. The DMV will update your driver record and will automatically issue a Class D photo driver license on your 17th birthday. You will receive the new driver license in the mail. There is no fee when you change the class of your driver license by this method.



Your driver license record will show that you are a Class D driver. You do not need to have your Class D document to drive as a senior license driver. You can drive on your 17th birthday.



Note: If your 17th birthday occurs on a weekend or a state holiday, your record is updated and your Class D driver license is issued on the next business day.

Its extremely unfortunate that the Catholic Church, your parents, most Christians or really any bible thumper seems to think it is acceptable to hate ANYONE! A true Christian, from what I understand, (im Jewish), are not to hate or judge anyone else. God made you for who you are, and yes, your life is going to be difficult. This is NOT a choice and dont let people make you believe that it is ok? If you let them ruin your life, they will. You have choices here. Tell your family that this is not something you can change, and if they truley love you to let you be who you are. If they cant exept that, then its time for you to move on. Eventually they will come around. My wife is Catholic, she went to Catholic schools her entire life, went to a Catholic college even. And she is very gay! lol. She doesnt go to church anymore because she knows that the Catholic religion will never accept her as she is, so now, she chooses to go to metropolitan church, which is very accepting of gays/lesbians. She calls herself a recovering Catholic, lol. You are soon to be an adult. Its time for you to make your own life choices. You have no choice over your sexuality, but you do have a choice as to how you live your life as a gay man. You can beat yourself up and be ashamed and pretend to be someone your not, or you can come out, be proud, stand with all the other gay people who have choose to do the same. Hope you make a good choice. Good luck!
