A Nevada driver’s license is valid for four years and expires on your birthday unless immigration documents are presented as evidence of your name and date of birth. If immigration documents are used, the expiration of your driver’s license will coincide with the departure date on your immigration documents, or in four years, whichever is sooner.
It is your responsibility to renew your license on time whether you receive a notice or
not. Please keep your address current with us. See Address
Changes.
You will receive one of two forms in the mail within 30 days of the
expiration date. If you qualify to renew by Internet or mail, you will receive a
Driver License Renew By Mail Application. If you do not qualify, you will receive
a post card stating that you must renew in person.
If you do not receive a notice, please call or email
your name, current address and driver license or Social Security number. You may be able to
renew without a DMV office visit. Nevada residents out-of-state
should call (775) 684-4560 or toll-free 1-877-368-7828.
To qualify for Internet or
Mail Renewals - You must have obtained your license or renewed in person
within the last 4 years and be at least 25 years old on your next birthday. You must not have had more than two moving violations
or any license suspension, revocation, cancellation or denial within the last
4 years.
If you do not meet these qualifications, you must renew in person at DMV
Full Service Office.
You
may be required to take written and/or skills tests depending on your driving
history.
Instruction Permits - Must be renewed in
person at a DMV office. If the permit has been expired more than 30 days, you
will have to take the written test.
If you are outside of Nevada
- You may also download and complete an
Application for Nevada Driver License By Mail
(DLD-4). Please email
or call before
completing this application. It will be returned if you do not qualify for Renew By
Mail or if there is any unusual problem with your license.
