Do I need an appt as I’m 79 and need to renew my license.

A) Yes, you will need an appointment to renew your driver’s license if you are 79 years old or older in the United States. This is because older drivers are required to take a vision test and a brief medical evaluation as part of the renewal process. These tests cannot be done online or by mail, so you will need to go to a DMV office in person.

You will need to schedule an appointment to renew your license in person at a DDS Customer Service Center. You can do this online by visiting the DDS Online Services website and clicking on the “Schedule Appointment” button. You will need to enter your personal information, select a location, date, and time for your appointment, and confirm your booking. You will receive a confirmation email with the details of your appointment and a barcode that you will need to bring with you

When you arrive at the DDS Customer Service Center, you will need to submit the required license form, take a photo, take and pass a vision exam, and pay an average $32 renewal fee. You can complete the license form online before your appointment by using the Online License/ID/Permit Form tool. You will need to print the form and bring it with you, or you can scan the barcode from your confirmation email at a DDS kiosk

Here are some additional tips for renewing your driver’s license if you are 79 years old or older:

• Bring your current driver’s license, proof of identity, and proof of residency with you to your appointment.
• Wear glasses or contact lenses if you need them to see.
• Be prepared to answer questions about your medical history.
• If you have any concerns about your ability to drive, be sure to discuss them with the DMV examiner.
