AZ license renewal

In most cases you renew online, with no office visit. AZ license renewal happens on AZ MVD Now, the Motor Vehicle Division’s (MVD’s) website: sign in, find Renew Now in the My Credential box and follow the instructions. Some drivers need to visit an office instead, for a photo, a vision test or their documents.

How does AZ license renewal work online?

If you haven’t used AZ MVD Now before, activate your account first: everyone with an Arizona driver license has one ready to activate. Then sign in, open Renew Now in the My Credential box and follow the steps.

When you can renew

You may renew within six months of the expiration date. Keep your address up to date after a move, or you may not get your renewal notices.

When you need an office

In some cases MVD needs to see you, for an updated photo, a vision test or your identification documents. Schedule an appointment on AZ MVD Now, or go to an Authorized Third Party driver license location.

Switching to a Travel ID when you renew

You can use a renewal to apply for the Travel ID, Arizona’s REAL ID credential. For that you visit an office, for a photo and to show your identification documents, and you schedule it on AZ MVD Now. The ID card page lists the documents.
