New CA ID's are being delayed in production...
Just an FYI in case this comes up... I came across this earlier this week. The person only had the paper ID and receipt, plus an extension of the paper because she hadn't received their new driver license from the state. Her receipt was dated November 1st. I felt so bad, because she didn't have any other form of ID that I could use. I explained state law, and she got so irate saying it's the state's fault she doesn't have her ID yet.
For those that don't know, CA introduced a new ID a few months ago. There has been a production backlog apparently, and it is causing some real issues. Saw this article about it this morning.

I ran into that potential situation last week, too. I meant to post on this but never got to it, so thank you for following through. Fortunately, I got lucky in that my borrower's previous DL was issued within five years, so I was still able to use it. I doubt that will happen very often, however.
At this point, when making the confirmation call and asking about ID, I specifically mention that I can't use the paper extensions. I do think, however, that this situation would be a perfect candidate for use of 2 credible witnesses.
I hope the kinks get worked out soon. I've seen exactly four of the new IDs so far, and I really like them. (The whole thing is easier to read, imo.)
