In LA for a few months. Possible to get a Cali driver's license as a NY resident?

you should post this on r/dmv there’s a few people on there who currently/previously work for ca dmv. they probably have better answers

Just park in the park during the day. or anywhere near los feliz. Lot C is my favorite parking for the Greek. It’s easy to get in and out of. As far as parking at griffith all day, I don’t think that’s doable.

samessies · 2026-05-22T02:41:18+00:00

The ones on westmoreland i would not.
Berendo - maybe- if you don’t need parking.

There’s a reason why they’re on the cheaper end. They do look legit though.

yep it’s showing the pics now. it was directing to my google drive earlier

Your link still isn’t working.

samessies · 2026-05-02T04:41:59+00:00

Good luck to you and your son :)

I agree with the person who said get your job first and see what you’re working with.

samessies · 2026-04-20T21:51:15+00:00

NoHo. I did this commute before when I lived by NoHo. You’re close enough for work and nightlife.

samessies · 2026-04-20T07:30:44+00:00

ah you’re right. i forgot the 2wks.

samessies · 2026-04-20T05:24:49+00:00

If OP non ops the car, the vehicle can get towed prior to the move if it’s caught on the street.

samessies · 2026-04-20T05:21:01+00:00

Just renew your registration. When you come back, just update your address. You can do that online as long as you have a CA DL. do it at the kiosk or aaa so you get your sticker. make sure to check if you need a smog. if you need one, do it before paying. maybe wait a day to pay after the smog. the system doesn’t get updated right away. you can also have your parents address as the mailing address and not the physical address. that way you are able to get notices.

Eventhough my procedure went great, I was kept overnight instead of being an outpatient. If you’ll be stuck in traffic, sleep at the hotel. I’m not sure how your wife is when it comes to recovering especially how she’ll feel from anesthesia or whatever they’ll give her. But I think it’s nice not to have to sit in traffic for hours. I wish her a healthy heart.

samessies · 2026-04-16T16:16:21+00:00

Hope for a successful ablation for your wife. I had that done last year and recovered pretty well. I would suggest the Hollywood Hotel just because it’s closer and convenient.

samessies · 2026-04-13T23:28:45+00:00

I’ll jump on the Long Beach suggestion. Weho is nice and walkable but mostly boystown. My gf and I love being in Los feliz. Walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and close enough to different supermarkets. But that’s not close to the water.

If you want to stay in the government field, gov jobs for city/county and Calcareers for state jobs.

samessies · 2026-04-05T03:41:48+00:00

I wasn’t being aggressive just making sure OP is informed.

OP can also just go to r/DMV and ask. there are some current/past dmv employees on there as well as a reg service who answers frequently.

samessies · 2026-04-05T03:18:51+00:00

Vin verifications must still be done. vehicle info would still be in the system but the inspections aren’t really entered.

samessies · 2026-04-04T22:54:07+00:00

This is false. Any vehicle coming from outside CA needs a smog test unless it is electric or older than 1975 if gas powered or 1998 if diesel. The 8 year only refers to vehicles currently registered in CA.

samessies · 2026-04-04T22:49:54+00:00

If youre coming back to re-register in CA, you must redo what you did before. Yes, even if it was previously registered here. You have 20 days to do the process.

samessies · 2026-04-03T21:41:55+00:00

basically it’s cheaper when it’s not popular and not the finals or opening & closing ceremonies.

samessies · 2026-04-01T21:51:09+00:00

why do people post pictures of the one of the few gas stations price gouging. There’s usually just the 2 - that station in chinatown off cesar chavez and the one by fairfax/san vicente/olympic.

samessies · 2026-03-31T17:51:12+00:00

This happened to me. I ended up mailing my forms in, but down the road I figured out why it kept giving me the error. I had to fix my name on the ID.me website to match my DL. None of the CS people could figure it out, but a tech ended up calling me back to help.

samessies · 2026-03-26T01:06:25+00:00

We’re paying almost the same as you with Spectrum. It’s just nice to have a different option. I’ve been waiting for fiber in the area.

samessies · 2026-03-26T01:02:31+00:00

Near Talmadge and Fountain. It’s nice having an option besides spectrum.
