Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my expiration date on my license?
Your expiration date is printed on the front of your driver's license, usually labeled "EXP" or "Expires." In most states, the expiration is on your birthday in the renewal year.
Can I renew online?
Many states offer online renewal if your information has not changed, you pass a vision self-certification, and you have not exceeded the maximum number of consecutive online renewals. Check your state DMV website for eligibility.
