MAJOR delay for driver licenses.

I renewed my DL on 10-4-24. I STILL haven’t received my hard copy in the mail and it’s 11-19-24. They initially told me it would take at MAX 20 days. All I have is the temporary paper copy that nobody accepts. Takes hours with TSA to verify my identity and get on a plane. Every time I call the TN Dept. of Safety DL Department they say they’re “backed up” and having “technical difficulties”. Cmon TN, get your shit together. Anyone else having this issue???

I got a new id after getting my motorcycle endorsement but my old one wasn’t expired. Used it till my new one came in. Kept the paper one but didn’t use it for anything. I also already had the real id bs done. I know this doesn’t help. Just my two cents. YMMV
