License Renewal for Expired License

The New Hampshire DMV does not require retaking a license test and/or a written test when renewing your license, unless your drivers license has been expired longer than three years.

Reinstate License: Expired Fewer Than Three Years


To renew, visit your local DMV office with:

  • Proof of age, identity and NH residency.
  • Your expired drivers license, if available.
  • Payment for the $50 driver license renewal fee.
You'll also be required to pass a vision test.

Reinstate License: Expired More Than Three Years


Visit your local DMV office with:

  • Proof of age, identity and NH residency.
  • Payment for the $50 driver license fee.
You will need to pass a vision screening and a 20-question written test.

You'll have 30 minutes to complete the written test and must answer at least 16 correctly to pass. To prepare, study the state's drivers manual. All questions are based on information explained in the manual, including night driving, speed management and road sign identification. You can obtain a hardcopy from any DMV office, or by downloading from the DMV website.

Next, take at least one online practice test. These exams mirror the actual test, providing valuable insight on what to expect.

Pass these two tests and you'll then need to take a license test. When you arrive for the skills test, be sure to have:

  • Proper identification.
  • A working vehicle with proof of registration and inspection.
