DMV Encourages New Yorkers to Renew Driver Licenses

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles today reminded New Yorkers that they have less than three weeks to renew their expired documents including vehicle inspections, vehicle registrations, and non-driver IDs. The expiration date of these documents was postponed by Executive Order during the Coronavirus public health emergency, but this extension will no longer remain in effect after November 3.

Driver licenses and learner permits that expired on or after March 1 were extended through November 3. The DMV encourages those who need to renew a driver license to do so online.

“For those who have expired vehicle and identity documents, time is running out to bring them up to date, so I am encouraging you to act now and avoid a last-minute rush,” said DMV Commissioner Mark J.F. Schroeder. “It is simple and convenient to renew your registration or non-driver ID on our website, and most inspection stations have convenient hours even on the weekends. If you aren’t sure where to go, use our website to find an inspection station near you.”  

Find an Inspection Station

Certified inspection stations have been open across the state throughout the pandemic and must comply with health and safety guidelines to ensure the protection of their customers. New Yorkers can visit the DMV website to find a nearby inspection station.
