Nebraska - Renew your Driver License

Advertisement

Procedure

To renew your license:

• Visit DMV office in person.
• Pass a vision screening.
• Pass a written test if your license has been expired for more than one year or has been suspended.
• Pass a driving test if your license was suspended or the DMV requests this extra step.
• Pay all renewal fees. The renewal fees for your driver license will depend upon what type of license you have and the time period for which your license was originally issued. Please refer to the DMV website for a complete listing of all driver license renewal fees. Since some driver license stations do not accept personal checks, it's a good idea to either call ahead to inquire about acceptable payment methods or bring enough cash with you to pay any necessary fees.
• You can renew your license at your nearest examining location. Keep in mind that peak busy times are after 3 p.m. each work day, when schools are not in session, and the day before or after a holiday.

Instructions

You can request a copy of your driving record or check your license expiration date to see if it's still valid.

If you are over 21 and will be out of the state during your driver license renewal period, you may request an early renewal. However, you will be asked to provide proof that you are unable to renew your license during the assigned time frame.

Suspended License: Requesting a copy of your driving record is the best way to see if your license has been suspended. If your driving privileges have been previously suspended, you'll need to complete the vision screening, written test, driving test, and any other applicable requirements. If your license was revoked under the Nebraska Point System Law, for example, you'll be required to complete a driver education course before you can receive a new license.

Additionally, you can expect your insurance premiums to increase after a license suspension. However, comparing rates through our Insurance Center may help you save money in this area.

To renew your driving license you should receive a renewal postcard about 90 days before your license is scheduled to expire. Review the preprinted information to make sure it is correct, then bring this notice with you when you renew your license.

If you have lost your renewal notice or did not receive one in the mail, you'll need to complete a DMV Operator's License-ID Data Form.

Online renewals are not allowed due to concerns about driver privacy and the potential risk of identity theft.

Unless there are special circumstances, it is not possible to renew by mail. For additional information, please call the DMV at (402) 471-3918.

If you are temporarily outside the state because of military service, see our Drivers in the Military page to find out how to handle your license renewal.

You can renew your driving license by visiting in person.
