Commercial license holders, instruction permit holders, those with 3+ moving violations in four years, or those requiring testing are ineligible.

Skip the trip if you can — many renewals can be completed online. See our step-by-step NV renewal guide for eligibility, REAL ID upgrades, and vision-test rules.
