Tips to Shorten Your Visit to a Driver License Office

Driver License Check - Check your license today

  • Skip the office visit altogether! Driver license renewals and address changes can be done via the internet, phone or mail.

  • Make an appointment. (Mid-month generally has more available appointment times than dates at the first or last of the month)

  • Call several offices near you for the earliest appointment. Please make an appointment at only one office.

  • Know office hours. Most of our offices are open Tuesday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. As a result, our offices are busier on Tuesday and Friday.

  • Avoid the lunch hour.
    Many people try to do their business at this time. If you need to do this, please be sure to make an appointment.

  • Be prepared.
    Bringing the necessary documents can help avoid delays and frustrations.


  • Renew early!

    Renewals can be done 18 months before the license's expiration date. You can renew your license via the internet or at any driver license office.
