Did you by any chance move during your wait for a new license?

If you're not aware of it, you should be: when a new license is sent
out, the envelope specifically bans forwarding to a new address.

This also applies to registration pink slips.

If either item arrives at an old address, it MUST be sent back to
Sacramento.

If you moved, it was your responsibility to notify DMV. They have
a kind of 'global' address change form that can handle your 
license, as well as your registrations on up to three vehicles,
on the same piece of paper. They expect you to use it. Thousands
of licenses every year are returned to DMV because people move and
don't tell DMV about it. Hey, it's the law.
