how long does it take to get your licence after to get your permit
From that we can surmise that it would be a lot faster if you do it in person. For renewals, you will be granted an interim license which is only valid for 60 days. If you have not received your new license after 60 days you can actually call them using this number: (800) 777-0133. See: How to Renew a Driver's License in California for more information. You have to pass knowledge test and later you have to pass behind the wheel drive test (Road test). The process may take 10-12 days. I got mine after about 10 days, for what it's worth.
