My appointment was canceled. What are my options?

REAL ID Appointments: Keep your cancellation email – When the Agencies re-open,

you can get a walk-in appointment at any time for 30 days by showing your cancellation

email.

Road Test Appointment: Road tests, including commercial road tests, are suspended.

When we re-open, those whose appointments were cancelled will receive priority

handling. We will also re-open with increased capacity in order to clear the backlog

quickly.

Pre-Conference Hearing:

Pre-conference hearings are currently suspended. We are working to create options to

continue pre-conference hearings if closure continues beyond what is currently planned.

We will contact you directly if we are able to conduct your hearing remotely.

I can’t renew my license online. Why?

You may NOT be eligible to renew your license or registration online if…

• Your license or registration expired beyond the approved extension period

• Your driver license photo is more than four years old

• Your license has been suspended.

You will have to wait for re-opening.

If I pay to restore my suspended license, how do I get my license back?

If your license has not yet passed the expiration date, you should renew or request a

replacement license online. If it is expired, you can email a copy of your receipt(s), with your

name and driver license number, to [email protected]. Due to the Covid-19

emergency, it may take a while for us to respond.

What if I have a DUI Suspension pending an Intoxicated Driving Program (IDP)?

Most drivers convicted of DUIs currently are able to work with their Intoxicated Driver

Resource Center (IDRC) and IDP to remain in compliance or become compliant. The

drivers can call their IDRC to obtain information about referrals and rescheduled

classes:
