3 months after i got my permit and they havent mailed me my license.....do i have to get an appointment to get it? (They told me they'd mail it to me 6-8 wks......)

You have to go for road test to obtain actual license permit is just a permit so you have to make an appointment for your road test to get your actual driver's license

Yeah usually it can get lose in the mail id call and ask/check. They would know best

Did you take the drivers exam?

Call and explain your issue. Might have gotten lost in the process
