For greater convenience, drivers between the ages of 22 and 74 who are not Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or school bus driver permit holders, and have no traffic infractions, sanctions, accident reports or medical report review requirements on their driving record, may be eligible to participate in the Safe Driver Renewal Program, which allows for a four-year driver’s license renewal either through the mail or with a credit card by touchtone telephone. Drivers are notified of their eligibility in their driver’s license renewal letter. Participation in this program waives the vision screening requirement, and participants receive by mail a license renewal sticker for placement on the back of the license (see page 102).

For drivers not eligible for Safe Driver Renewal, the following license renewal requirements apply:

Drivers under age 21 are issued licenses that expire three months after their 21st birthday. Drivers age 21 through 80 are issued licenses that are good for four years and expire on their birthday. Drivers age 81 through 86 are issued licenses good for two years. Drivers age 87 and older must renew their licenses each year.
