How to Renew Your NDID
You can renew 1 year before and up to 2 years after your non-driver ID expires. If it is expired for 2 years or more, you cannot renew - there are no exceptions. See Replace a Non-Driver ID if your ID was lost or destroyed. See Get a Non-Driver ID if you have never had a Non-Driver ID or if your ID is expired by 2 years or more.
If you are 62 or older or you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or public assistance, you are eligible for a reduced fee or 'No Fee' ID. See the section ‘Reduced Fee or 'No Fee' Non-Driver IDs’ on the Non-Driver ID Fees and Refunds page for more information.
Online
If you already have an Enhanced or REAL ID, or you want to keep your Standard, you can renew online. Your document type will stay the same. Download and print a temporary license in PDF format to use until your new license arrives. Your temporary document is valid for 60 days.
By Mail
If you already have an Enhanced or REAL ID, or you want to keep your Standard, you can renew by mail. Your document type will stay the same.
You cannot renew by mail if you have a REAL ID or Enhanced non-driver ID with a photo that is over 16 years old. You must come into an office to take a new picture.
If you apply by mail, send us a photocopy of your proof of SSI.
Complete the notice we sent you and return it in the envelope provided. Be sure to include payment in the form of a check or money order payable to the "Commissioner of Motor Vehicles".
If you did not receive a renewal notice, you can use an Application for Permit, Driver License or Non-Driver ID Card (PDF) (MV-44).
Mail with payment to the address below.
At an Office
You don't have to get an Enhanced or REAL ID. However, if you have a Standard, you will not be allowed to board a domestic flight starting in May 2023 (unless you have a Passport).
Complete this guide to make sure you have the proofs of identification you need before you come to the DMV.
