I have a repeat client (younger than me) who is bedridden with a degenerative disease. Any movement is very difficult for her, but her mind is still very sharp. Her DMV ID is going to be expiring, so I had mentioned to her that I'd heard the DMV offers some option for non-mobile folks like her (which I'd read about here on this forum). She looked into it and sent me an email today with the details.
For any of you who do GNW in this state, I thought this could be very helpful to pass on to people you encounter who might need this service. Apparently, the DMV can send someone to them to take their picture. Here's what she said about setting that up:
"They should call the DMV office in Fresno at 800-777-0133. They will be sent Form DL-44 to complete. They will then be given the DMV office that will handle the processing of the card and taking the picture in the home."
She didn't say anything about the rest of the process, but typing is difficult for her. This sounds like a great starting point, though, for anyone who can't get to the DMV, but needs an ID. BTW, she's a former notary... Please send a good thought - and be grateful for all your blessings... I sure am grateful for mine!
