Renewing or replacing a Nevada driver's license

Most Nevada drivers aged 16 to 70 can renew online through MyDMV, any time, and print a temporary license on the spot. If your license is lost, stolen or unreadable, apply for a duplicate right away, online or at the DMV. A duplicate costs $17.50, and an 8-year renewal costs $41.50, as of October 2026.

Can you renew online?

Usually yes, if you're a Nevada resident aged 16 to 70, your license hasn't been expired more than 364 days, it isn't suspended, your name hasn't changed, and you meet the vision standard. You certify your own vision online.

You can't renew online if you're 71 or older, hold an instruction permit, commercial license or Driver Authorization Card, have three or more moving violations in four years, or need to take any test. The card arrives in 7 to 10 business days.

Other ways to renew

  • By mail: you get a renewal application about 60 days before expiry if you're eligible. Mail takes 4 to 6 weeks, and drivers over 71 send a physician's evaluation.
  • In person: book an appointment only if you can't renew online. This is also when you can upgrade to a REAL ID. Commercial drivers renew at a CDL office.
  • Out of state or on active duty: use form DMV 204 by mail.

Late renewals

  • Expired 30 days or more: a $10 late fee.
  • Expired 1 year or more: you take the written test again.
  • Expired 4 years or more: you also take the road test.

Lost or stolen license

The handbook says to apply for a duplicate immediately if your license is lost, stolen or can't be read. You can do it online in MyDMV or in person. If you go in, bring as much ID as you can. The DMV may use the photo it already has on file.

A duplicate license or Driver Authorization Card is $17.50 at any age. A commercial duplicate is $22.50.
