What online service allows temporary licenses to be issued immediately after a renewal application?

The chosen answer is indeed the correct choice because the California DMV's online renewal service offers a streamlined process for renewing a driver's license. When a driver completes their renewal application through this online service, they receive a temporary license immediately upon submission, which can be printed out. This temporary license is valid until the official new license is mailed to the applicant.

Other options do not provide this immediate issuance feature; for example, while local DMV office processing may handle renewals, it typically does not issue a temporary license on the spot in the same manner as the online service. The state department's licensing portal, if it refers to an overarching state resource, might not be specifically designed for this task either. Lastly, an online vehicle registration service focuses on vehicle-related matters and does not handle driver's license renewals. Thus, the online renewal service is uniquely equipped to deliver immediate results to drivers.
