Do I need to bring my ID card for driver's license renewal?
2 Answers
Renewing a driver's license requires bringing your ID card. Here are the relevant details: Reason: The driver's information on the license must match the ID card. When renewing your driver's license, you need to bring the original ID card, the original driver's license, the "Motor Vehicle Driver Physical Condition Certificate," and ensure that all traffic violations and accidents have been processed. Additional information: Motor vehicle drivers can authorize an agent to handle license renewal, replacement, submission of physical condition certificates, extension applications, and cancellation procedures. When applying for motor vehicle driver's license services, the agent must submit their own ID card and an application form or physical condition certificate jointly signed by the driver and the agent.
As a young person who often drives, I recently renewed my driver's license. You must bring your ID card—it's the most basic form of identification, as the DMV relies on it to verify your identity. I also brought my original driver's license, a few one-inch photos, and a medical examination report—none of these can be skipped. The process went smoothly; booking online in advance saved me from queuing, and the staff on-site scanned my ID to confirm my details in the system. I recommend making a photocopy as a backup to avoid last-minute panic. Also, remember that renewing your license isn’t just about paperwork—it ensures your driving eligibility is legal, preventing fines or points if checked on the road. Safety is the priority. Anyway, don’t forget your ID card—delaying things is one thing, but you might end up making a wasted trip.
