Senior drivers have extended license renewal
Highway driving

WISCONSIN — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Division of Motor Vehicles recognizes the health risk to drivers over age 60 during this pandemic and has granted them an additional 60-day extension to renew their driver license. Drivers over age 60 whose license expired after March 12 now have until Nov. 23 to visit a DMV to renew their license.

Drivers can renew up to a year before the expiration date on their card. An expired driver license is still valid for voting providing it expired after the last General Election, Nov. 6, 2018. To further support customers, DMV Customer Service Centers have implemented safety protocols. All DMV employees wear face coverings. In addition, services inside DMVs are limited to driver licensing or ID-related needs to promote social distancing. All vehicle related services can be done online, by mail or through a third party.

Using DMV’s Driver License Guide, wisconsindmv.gov/DLGuide, drivers can go online to fill in the application, submit it and make an appointment.
