To maintain good legal standing on the road, you must renew your driver's license every eight years before your birthday.
Maintaining car insurance is also a legal requirement. If you have yet to settle on a carrier, or are interested in comparing rates, visit our Insurance Center.
You have but one option for renewing your Class D license: in person.
If you're hazy on the the current status of your license, before renewing you should erase doubts by ordering a driving record report.
NOTE: Commercial drivers follow different requirements when it comes to renewing.
If you don't renew by your birthday, you'll be assessed a $5 late fee. Keep in mind that you'll face a much harsher financial penalty if caught by the police while driving with an expired license. If you are confused about your license's status, you can gain peace of mind by ordering a driving record report.
A driving record report will provide current information on the status of your suspension. If you're cleared for reinstatement, you may discover a considerable jump in insurance rates as a result of your suspension. If it exceeds your budget, you can search for lower rates at our Insurance Center.
For detailed information on how to reinstate your license, visit our section on license suspension.
If your license is lost, stolen or mutilated, you need to order a duplicate. Learn how at our Replacing a Lost License page.
