The renewal period for a driver’s license varies by state.
Generally, most states allow you to renew your driver’s license several months before the expiration date. Here are a few examples to illustrate the typical range:
- Georgia: You can renew your driver’s license up to 150 days (approximately 5 months) before the expiration date.
- Florida: You can renew your driver’s license up to 18 months in advance of the expiration date.
- New York: You can renew your license up to 1 year before it expires.
- Alabama: You can renew your license within 6 months of the expiration date.
- California (online): You can renew online within 90 days before the expiration date.
