In California, the rules for renewing a driver’s license change starting at a certain age. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) states that older adults who delay the process could lose the ability to renew under the usual system and face additional restrictions.

Licenses are changing: older adults will no longer be able to renew them as before

In California, drivers aged 70 or older:

  • Must go in person to a DMV office
  • Must renew their license every 5 years
  • May be subject to additional evaluations, depending on the case

Unlike other age groups, they cannot complete the process entirely online once they reach that age range.
