Renewing California drivers license

Renewing your California drivers license is a very common question that we get asked all the time. That’s why we’ve taken the time to provide you with a quick but detailed outline of everything that you will need to renew your license in California. There are three different ways in which you can renew your license in California. Let’s describe these below.

The fastest way is to renew your license online. The state of California has made it very convenient to renew online. When you elect this option, you get to skip waiting in line at the local DMV office, and the online renewal service is available 24 hours a day, every day of the week! In order to renew your California drivers license online you must meet these criteria: You must have a computer with internet connection. You must be registered with the California DMV. Your address and personal information must be the same as your current drivers license. The California DMV must have Your Social Security Number on file and verified. And finally, in order to make the payment for the drivers license renewal, you must have an active checking bank account or credit card.

Your second option is to renew your license by mail. If you’ve moved and had an address change, then you must renew by mail or in person. This is very important because you will not be able to change your address if you choose to renew online. Let’s now talk about the criteria that you must meet in order to be eligible to renew by mail.
