If you renew online before it expires, I believe your old license should be fine even after the printed expiration date since the system will show your license is unexpired.
Yes they give a printable one similar to the temp permit you got once you past the test
this it what it says on the DMV website"You can renew up to 1 year before it expires and 2 years after (there are no exceptions). Renewal anytime within this period will not affect the expiration date of your new driver license or the fees."https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/how-renew-license
My license is expiring next week if I renew online will they give me a temporary extension until I get the new one in the mail or is my only option is to go down to the DMVThanx
Is there any thread discussing how to renew a drivers licence (NYS) during COVID-19?My local DMV office in Brooklyn is closed. I need to get the REAL or Enhanced Licence which isn't available online.
To ensure there are no unintended consequences for New Yorkers who are not able to visit the DMV during the closure, any driver license, non-driver ID or registration set to expire on or after March 1, 2020 will be extended until further notice. The current 45-day temporary vehicle registration issued by auto dealers will also be extended. This extension does not apply to insurance coverage requirements. Motor Vehicle Liability insurance coverage must be maintained during this extension period.
Whats the renewal process for a NYS drivers license ? Do i need to take an eye test ? what else ?
Nothing else. Just paying. (They'll try to push the enhanced one)
Thanks, Do i need a proper eye test from a eye doctor ?
No
(They'll try to push the enhanced one
what is that ?is it worth it ?
So whats the process ? any forms to fill ? on the DMV site it says i have to show proof of eyesight checked' how do i do that ?
If you mail it in you need a eye exam. For in person you just read off a paper 10 feet away
Starting in May 2024, you'll need a passport or an enhanced license to fly even domestically.
Go to https://dmv.ny.gov/vision-registry-locator and find an eye test location near you.
