License Renewal
Q. Must I take another examination to renew my license?
A. Check with your state's division of motor vehicles. Some states
permit renewal by mail.
Most states require a vision test, and in some instances, a new photograph
for renewal. A
few require a written test. Prerequisites for license renewal could include
as much as a
vision test, written test, thumbprint, signature, and photograph.
Some states impose additional requirements if a driver has amassed a number
of traffic
convictions or if the driver is of a certain age or has certain physical
problems. Some
states require a road test for “elderly” drivers (those over
a specific age that is set by state
law) prior to renewal.
Q. May a physical or mental affliction prevent me from driving
legally?
A. Yes. A few states require doctors to report physical and mental
disorders of patients
that could affect driver safety.
