Drivers License/Identification Cards


Permanent License Renewal

The Division of Motor Vehicles no longer issues permanent driver licenses, as a result of HB 253. Please refer to Title 21, Section 2716 for additional information.

Current permanent license holders must return to the Division every eight years to renew their license. The renewal fee is $24.00. Permanent license holders who have a motorcycle endorsement will be charged an extra $12.00 fee for that endorsement.

Whenever a license is suspended or revoked, it is changed to a Class D license upon reinstatement.
