If you are stationed in CA but your state of residency is not CA, can you obtain a CA DL? I was always under the impression that doing so would make you a CA resident.. Asking for a coworker, I have no need to get a CA drivers license.

Out of state military getting a CA DL?

It can be done.
You need to surrender your current State issued DL, in order to obtain the CA DL.
If you do not provide the required documentation for a REAL ID complaint DL/ID, then you will be issued a FLA CA DL.
Once you obtain the CA DL, CA will consider you a CA resident.
Federal laws/regulations prohibits a person from having more than one REAL ID compliant DL/ID.sigpic
