How Tennessee Driver Services appointments work
Tennessee's 47 Driver Services Centers take walk-ins for everything, and many offer appointments for REAL ID, address changes, renewals, knowledge tests and road tests. Renewals, duplicates and address changes often skip the center: e-Services online, 93 self-service kiosks and 46 county clerks handle them.

Check if you can skip it
Renewals (when you don't need a new photo), duplicates with your DD number and address changes work on e-Services or at a kiosk. Take our 2-question check first.

Book if you can
Appointments save time at the centers that offer them. Road tests can be booked online up to 45 days ahead.

Arrive 15 minutes early
Late for an appointment and you're treated as a walk-in. Centers are open weekdays 8:30 to 5, local time, with no Saturday hours.

Bring originals
Driver Services doesn't accept photocopies. You leave with a paper interim license; the card comes by mail.
