So You Left Your Driving Privileges on the Bus... Literally? How to Check Your NYC Driver's License Status Online (Because Let's Face It, We've All Been There)
Ah, the wonderful world of adulting. Between remembering birthdays, unearthing that missing Tupperware lid, and chasing after that rogue sock that seems to have developed teleportation skills, it's easy to forget the status of your driver's license. Maybe you vaguely recall shoving it into your gym bag that one time you almost went, or perhaps it hitched a ride on the back of a rogue pigeon (hey, it happens in the city). Whatever the reason, you're now staring down the question: Can I check my NYC driver's license status online?
The answer, my friend, is a resounding YES! And thank goodness for small miracles, because who needs the added stress of battling DMV lines that could rival the queue for the hottest new brunch spot (seriously, that wait for avocado toast is no joke).
