I thought most all states let you renew by mail. The backwards Southern State I live in lets you.

You can only renew by mail a limited number of times. Then you have to in for a test.

California has a pretty good DMV appointment system. I have an appointment in late July for my license test for renewal. You do need to plan far ahead because of all the illegals as others up-thread have pointed out. You need to book your appointment 6 to 8 week’s ahead!

PA isn't exactly on the cutting edge of progress but you can renew on line...only reason to go to a DMV is for the picture-taking. Takes about 15 minutes every four years.

c'mon, I lived in Louisiana for over 20 years, it's not that backward, not with the License offices at least

You can't get your first Real ID by mail, you have to go in.

Louisiana got an extension and delayed implementation of Real ID but they begin giving out real id in October.

At least read the part of the article posted.

In Alabama you can renew by mail or online.

I get notification of expiration of both drivers license and license plate tabs by mail but I can renew over the internet.

Interestingly enough, I had to renew both my drivers license and CPL last year. I had to show up in person at the county court house to renew the CPL and they had to take a photo for it. Then they used the same photo for the drivers license..........

Just an FYI, your state DMV has your license flagged if you have a CPL.........
