• You must renew your license before it expires.
• If your license has been expired for more than thirty (30) calendar days, you will be paying additional late fees upon renewal of your license.
• You will receive a courtesy renewal notice approximately eight to ten weeks before your license expires.
• If you did not receive a renewal notice, you may simply take your current license to any driver service center. The renewal notice itself is not necessary for you to be able to renew your license.
• There are three ways to renew your license:
  • If you have a current valid photo license, you may renew by mail or online and receive an updated license re-using your current photo.
  • If you have certain types of licenses, your renewal notice will direct you to go to your nearest driver services center to have a new photograph made.
  • Effective January 1, 2013, persons age 60 or older having a non-photo driver license issued December 31, 2012 or prior to that date, are permitted to retain the non-photo driver license. Applicants who obtain age 60 on January 1, 2013 or after, will not qualify for a non-photo driver license based on age only.

NOTE: Under Tennessee law, a non-photo Driver License will no longer be accepted as identification for the purposes of voting effective January 1, 2012.

• Full name
• Date and place of Birth
• Current residence
