COVID-19 Effects on Licensing Services
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, state DMVs nationwide have closed driver licensing offices, extended license and registration expiration dates, and/or limited the transactions they are processing. If possible, residents should use the DMV's online services to complete any relevant transactions. Follow the DMV's most recent updates for the latest information.
Renew Your North Carolina Driver's License
To continue to drive legally in North Carolina, you must renew your driver's license before it expires. The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) handles all driver license renewal applications.
For information about other types of driver's licenses or permits in NC, please refer to any of our following pages:
North Carolina REAL ID Driver's License
The NCDMV issues federally-compliant REAL ID driver’s licenses in addition to non-compliant licenses. As of October 1, 2021, only the REAL ID will function as federal identification for domestic travel and entry into federal and military buildings—a standard license will not after this date.
You have the choice to obtain a non-compliant license or upgrade to a REAL ID license upon renewal—we'll walk you through the requirements below. For more detail, visit the NCDMV's guide to REAL IDs.
When to Renew Your NC Driver's License
The NC DMV will send you a renewal card approximately 60 days before your driver's license expires. However, you can renew your driver's license up to 180 days before its expiration date.
While you are not required to have the card with you when you renew in person at a NC DOT driver's license office, it may prove to be helpful.
