I guess the prior issued ones, which are said to not have been issued correctly without residency verification, are valid until renewal? How does that make any sense? If they are valid, then they should remain valid. If they are not valid, then they should not be valid.
That's because at the time that those licenses were issued, the DMV was using a verification method which was originally approved by DHS as proof of residence. The previously issued Real ID licenses and identification cards remain valid until their expiration dates, at which time two proofs of residence will be required. I guess that I won't be able to renew my CDL by mail in four and a half years.
