APPLICANTS WITH AN EXPIRED LICENSE: You will be assessed a $5 reactivation fee for every 30-days past the expiration date starting on the 91st day. Send appropriate renewal and reactivation fees that apply to your license. All requirements and payment must be received before the 1-year expiration date. Should your license pass the 1-year expiration date, a written test and road test will be required. Although you have up to 1-year to renew your license with applicable fees, your license is not valid to drive with.
NOTE REGARDING FOREIGN MAILING ADDESSES: We do not mail licenses to foreign addresses. Your LPL card must be picked up at our driver license office at the address listed above, by a 3rd party shipping company (FedEx, UPS, etc.). This arrangement and expense shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant. If you would like a friend or a family to pick up your LPL for you, a signed letter of authorization to release is required with your completed packet. Your signed authorization must include the name and phone number of the individual who will be obtaining your license. Your authorized person will need to present a valid photo identification for pick-up.
Your renewal will be processed upon receipt of ALL required documents noted above. Once processed, your license will be mailed to your U.S. or APO/FPO address within 6-8 weeks.
REAL-ID ENFORCEMENT DEADLINE: The Federal Government has extended the REAL-ID enforcement star to May 3, 2023. Current licenses and State ID’s are valid for travel with or without the gold-star marking until May 3, 2023.
