If you are a commercial driver and your CDL has been expired for over two years, you’ll need to take a skills test for the type of commercial motor vehicle you will be driving to renew your license. If you have not received your DL card after 60 days, visit Driver’s License & ID Card Status. You will receive your new DL in the mail within three to four weeks. The temporary license is valid for 60 days. If you apply for a REAL ID in person, you must also provide proof of your identity and residency from the list of acceptable REAL ID documents.Īfter you complete these requirements, DMV will issue you a temporary DL until you receive your new license in the mail.To allow for sufficient testing time, we don’t administer knowledge tests within 30 minutes of closing. If you fail the same test three times, your application is no longer valid and you need to reapply. You are allowed three attempts to pass each of the required knowledge tests. Your renewal notice will indicate if you need to take a knowledge test. Pass the knowledge test(s) (if required).Pay the nonrefundable application fee (application and fee valid for 12 months).Complete a DL or ID card application or bring in the DMV renewal notice mailed to you (cross out any old information and write in the current information).
