PA License Renewal Simplified

One of the most annoying things in the world is having to renew your driver’s license… unfortunately, it’s one of those things that’s gotta be done in order to stay street legal. However, renewing your license in Pennsylvania isn’t as hard as you might think! Check out how to get it done fast and easy in no time at all!

Your PA license is valid for four years and expires the day after your birthday, and the PennDOT will automatically send you an Invitation to Renew three months before your license expires. If you’re over 65, you have the option to renew your license every two years (instead of the standard four).

First, you need the Invitation to Renew.

Return your completed application with a check or money order (instructions will be on the Invitation to Renew)

You’ll get a camera card in the mail, and after you get that, go into your local Photo Center with your appropriate ID to get your new driver’s license.

The appropriate forms of ID include:

• Pennsylvania: Driver’s License or Photo ID Card;

• Documents: Passport, Citizenship or Naturalization or Weapons Permit

• Photographic ID: Military, Bank, Employee, School or Out-of-State License; or

• Non-Photo: We may be able to serve you when providing a Voter’s Registration, Medicare Card, PA Learner’s Permit or Temporary Driver’s License or Vehicle Registration.
