An interim driver license is an official driver license for California residents. It is usually given to people who have just passed their driving exam. This driver license is a piece of paper with their official details, such as name, height, weight and license number. It is carried by them for up to 90 days until their official license arrives in the mail. It takes time for the official license
. to get processed and created, which is why the interim license is used. It is considered a valid license, and it allows anyone who is a legal California driver to drive within the state.California's Department of Motor Vehicles has more information online at http://dmv.ca.gov/dl/dl_info.htm. This page covers reasons why an interim license is issued, including drivers who lost their license, those who just passed the test and other reasons.
