i got mine before i moved to cali because i wanted at least the last half of my drive with babies to be legal! the problem i ran into is this... you need a CA drivers license. Getting a CA ID requires an address which they mail to your house. I thought this strange cause the state i moved from just hands you an ID on your way out the door. Many docs wont except the temp. piece of paper that they give you at the DMV. I was lucky and the person I was staying with let me use their address and I changed it when I moved. But short of this... I would wait until you move!
