I transferred my Delaware license to Tennessee back in July, but I still haven’t received my plastic license. I have the paper one they gave me, but it’s been months now. What do I need to do to get the permanent one?
That’s a long wait. Did you try calling the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security to check the status?

No, I haven’t yet. Do you know their number?

You can find it on their website. They might ask for your paper license info to look it up.
Did you move recently? If they sent it to the wrong address, that could explain the delay.

Nope, same address as when I applied. Maybe it just got lost?

Could be. It’s worth double-checking with them to see if it was mailed out yet.
I had the same issue last year. It turned out they’d processed it but forgot to mail it. Definitely call them.

Wow, that’s frustrating. Did they fix it quickly once you contacted them?

Yeah, mine showed up about a week after I called. Hopefully, yours will be just as quick.
If calling doesn’t work, try visiting the driver service center in person. They might be able to sort it out faster.

Good idea. Do I just bring the paper license and explain the situation?

Yeah, and maybe any receipts or emails you got when you applied. That’ll help them track it down.
FYI, sometimes these delays are just because they’re backed up with applications. But since it’s been months, definitely follow up.

Yeah, I figured it might just be slow, but it feels like way too long now. Thanks for the heads-up!

No problem! Let us know what happens. Hopefully, it’s just sitting in their system waiting to be mailed.
