Can I take care of my drivers license renewal online?

New Driver Checklist
Due to security concerns, many states no longer offer online drivers license renewal. States offering online drivers license renewal also have eligibility requirements for this service. Generally, the state will send out a renewal notice stating whether you are eligible to renew a license online. This might contain a code to input on their secure renewal Web site.

To renew a drivers license online, states by and large require that your license has been expired less than a year (though this can vary by state), and that your Social Security number and current address are on file with the motor vehicle department. States also require occasional in-person renewals at certain ages in order for drivers to get current photos and exams. 

People with existing or new medical restrictions or who require immigration papers to renew are not allowed to renew drivers licenses online.

Renew your drivers license before it expires to avoid traffic tickets or citations for driving with an expired license, as the fines can be quite hefty. Online renewal is allowed as much as six months before the drivers license expires.
