Check License or Driving Privilege Status

Check License or Driving Privilege Status

Online

The quickest and easiest way to check your driving status is online through MyDMV. Sign up for or sign into MyDMV and use the "My License, Permit, or ID" service. You can check

  • the current class and status of your driving privilege (for example valid, revoked, suspended)
  • the number of driver violation points on your driving record by purchasing your driving record
  • if your license, permit or non-driver ID card is valid, expired, or due to be renewed
  • your document type (Enhanced, REAL ID, Standard)
  • your address on DMV records, and change it, if necessary
  • your CDL medical certification status
  • the mailing status of a document you recently ordered

You can also renew or order a replacement document.

You can access MyDMV using your NY.gov ID or your personal information. For more information about MyDMV, see MyDMV Help.  

 

'My License' Service is Not an Official Record

The "My License" service is not an official (certified) copy of your driving record. If you need a certified copy of your driving record, you will need to get your own driving record (abstract).
