ID RequirementsValid proof of identity, Social Security number, and proof of residency required. Requirements vary by state. Acceptable documents typically include a birth certificate or passport (identity), Social Security card or W-2 (SSN), and utility bill or bank statement (residency). REAL ID-compliant licenses require additional documentation.
RenewalRequired -- License renewal required every 4–8 years depending on state. Renewal typically does not require re-taking the written test unless the license has been expired for an extended period (usually 1–4 years, varies by state). Many states offer online or mail-in renewal for standard licenses.
Retake PolicyMost states require a 1-day wait between attempts. Some states allow same-day retake. Fees may apply for retakes after the first 2–3 attempts.
