REGISTRATION RENEWAL

Renew your vehicle registration online from the convenience of wherever you are

NOTE:   You can use this form to apply for, renew, replace, correct, or update a driver’s license or identification card, or to apply for license endorsements.

Before you begin…

  1. Be prepared to create a DMV online account, if you have never done so previously. If you have, be prepared to log in to your DMV online account. (DMV uses two-factor authentication to prove your digital identity; it requires an email address and a way to receive a phone call or text message.             NOTE  Drivers 70+ must renew their DL in person at the DMV every five years. Start your driver’s license renewal application to save time at the DMV office.

  2. Have your social security number handy, in addition to basic information such as name, address, and date of birth.

  3. The average time to complete this application is 9 minutes. For privacy and security purposes, the app times out after 15 minutes. If you cannot complete the application in one sitting, don’t worry; you may log in to your DMV account and finish it later. (Applications are stored up to one year, and are only processed when you visit a DMV field office.)

  4. After completing the application, you will need to visit a field office to finish the rest of the driver’s license/ID card application process.

FAQs

Yes, but because each form has a unique barcode on it, it cannot be downloaded and printed. A new paper version of the driver’s license application is available in field offices for customers who choose not to complete the electronic version. Although, DMV is moving towards a completely paperless process and will begin to phase out the paper application. 

Yes. A parent can use their own email when completing the electronic application for minors, if the minor does not have their own email account.

You will sign the form once you visit a DMV field office and complete the process with a DMV employee.

Information on the electronic application is only used for a DMV transaction. Although, pursuant to state law, customers who are eligible to register to vote will have their voter registration information shared with the Secretary of State.
