Most driver’s licenses can be renewed up to 10 months in advance at any driver’s license site in the state. Commericial (CDL) applicants must renew at Automated Sites only. Click here for Drivers License sites.

Early renewal does not affect the expiration date of the new license, which is valid for four years from the holder’s date of birth.
