Do I need my Renewal Identification Number (RIN) on my renewal notice to renew my drivers license online?
You no longer need the RIN to renew your drivers license online, but you do need to register as a certified user with the DMV to process your renewal
How do I become eligible to renew by Internet?

You have to be eligible for renewal by mail and:

  • Have access to the Internet
  • Register as a certified user with the DMV
  • Not have a change of address or change of personal description
  • Have a verified Social Security Number (SSN) on DMV record (since October 2000, DMV verifies SSNs with the Social Security Administration)
  • Have a valid credit card or a checking account.
Can I renew my driver license by Internet if I have a change of address at the same time?
No. A change of address is not accepted as part of the driver license renewal by internet process. This is for your security and protection. If you have a change of address, enter your current address on your renewal notice and renew your driver license by mail.
