Driver's License / REAL ID Journey
First-time license in a twelfth domain, SAME engine — TWO decisions (document review + test result) and TWO loops (document cure + re-test). LOOP #1: a second residency proof supplied on return. LOOP #2: road test failed then passed. JOIN: 3 of 4 issuance prerequisites converge — the SSN match still pending; "Ready to issue" stays locked until all four meet, then an interim license is issued and the card is mailed.
