I was wondering if anyone could shed some insight on a strange situation im going through with my drivers license

I dont post much so ill try to be be brief

Before i was the age of 18, "16-17" i went to a drivers course and successfully passed the course and received my drivers permit, after that with a bit of procrastination and time, my permit expires and i continue driving regardless, fast forward till now, I've recently turned 19 and with the intent of getting my genuine drivers license, i went to renew my permit, " after a hassle since i had my wallet stolen at 18 and my expired permit was in there" either way it went as well as a dps visit could be and i received my paper copy of my dl and was told i would receive my physical copy soon, well soon finally came today and ive received it only to find a physical drivers license instead of a permit despite never doing the drivers test or anything past my permit, has anyone had a similar experience or can shed any insight on how i should go about this?
