Question 1 of 4

  1. 1Did you renew online or by mail last time?

    Virginia makes you renew in person every other time.

  2. 2Are you 75 or older?

    From 75, renewals are in person and last 5 years.

  3. 3Do you need any of these: a REAL ID upgrade, a name change, a new photo, a vision restriction removed, or do you have to prove legal presence?
  4. 4Has your license been expired for more than a year?
