DMV ID Card

Is it time to get or renew your child's California ID card? If so, make sure to get their Regional Center Case manager to complete California DMV form DL-937 (a reduced fee application) which you then take into the DMV for processing within 60 days from form completion. We just did my daughter's renewal and paid $8 instead of a $29 renewal fee. Many case managers don't know about this cost savings form. Form not available online but case manager can call the DMV at 916-657-6550 to request the DL937 form. DMV will NOT send to parents directly.
