my drivers license expires on 4/25. Will it automatically be issued a Louisiana real ID if it is automatically renewed thru the mail or will I have to come to the office in person.

A) Louisiana Real ID and Automatic Renewal

Unfortunately, you will need to visit an OMV office in person to obtain a Louisiana Real ID.

Even if your driver’s license is eligible for automatic renewal, the Real ID process requires additional verification and documentation that cannot be handled through the mail.

Key Points:

• Automatic renewal is for standard driver’s licenses, not Real IDs.
• In-person visit is mandatory for obtaining a Real ID.
• Required documents will vary based on individual circumstances.

To prepare for your visit, you can find a list of required documents on the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles website:

By planning your visit in advance and gathering the necessary documents, you can streamline the process of obtaining your Louisiana Real ID.
