A Nevada Identification Card is valid for four years and expires on your birthday unless immigration documents are presented as evidence of your name and date of birth. If immigration documents are used, the expiration of your card will coincide with the departure date on your immigration documents, or in four years, whichever is sooner.
It is your responsibility to renew your card on time whether you receive a notice or
not. Please keep your address current with us. See Address
Changes.
You will receive one of two forms in the mail within 30 days of the
expiration date. If you qualify to renew by Internet or mail, you will receive a Renew By Mail Application. If you do not qualify, you will receive
a post card stating that you must renew in person.
If you do not receive a notice, please call or email
and include your current address. You may be able to
renew without a DMV office visit. Nevada residents out-of-state
should call (775) 684-4560 or toll-free 1-877-368-7828.

You must have a renewal notice with access code to renew by Internet. If you received a post card asking you to renew in person, you must visit a DMV office.
It's
fast, easy, secure and best of all, no lines! You may renew
your card with the access code from the renewal notice. In most cases, you will receive a new ID card with your existing photo in the mail. Get started here.
Renewals are sent to the address we have on record. If your
address is incorrect, please renew by mail or in person.
Choose e-check or debit!

If you received a post card asking you to renew in person, you must visit a DMV office. The only exceptions are for members of the Armed Forces, their spouses, dependents or certain federal employees.
You should mail your renewal if you have received a renewal notice but are not eligible for an Internet renewal because of an address change
or other unusual situation. See Address Changes.
If you do not receive any notice or post card, please call or e-mail
your name, current address and driver license number. You may be able to
renew without a DMV office visit. Nevada residents out-of-state
should call (775) 684-4560 or toll-free 1-877-368-7828. We may ask you to include a Payment Authorization (VP-205) for fee payment on mailed or faxed renewals.

| In Person |
You may renew in person at any DMV
office. We do not make appointments. This is suggested only if you are renewing early, have multiple DMV
transactions or you are not eligible for Internet or mail renewal.
Your existing Nevada ID is sufficient for proof of identity. You do not have to bring additional documentation unless it is required for other reasons such as immigration status.
Nevada ID cards are issued from a central location and mailed to you. We will punch a hole in your existing card and return it to you with an interim document. See Central Issuance. |

If your ID card has been
expired 30 days or less, you may renew without penalty by mail (if
otherwise qualified). Please mail your renewal notice or renew in
person at a DMV office. You cannot renew online.
If you did not receive a notice, please renew in
person. An incorrect address is the most likely cause of this. See Address Changes.
If your ID has been expired 31 days to one year,
you must renew in person at a DMV
office. If your ID has been expired one year or more, you must renew in person and you will have to show Proof of Identity. |

You may renew your ID card at any time in person at DMV office. This is highly recommended for
those who are planning an extended trip outside of Nevada. Active-duty
military members are encouraged to renew in person when visiting Nevada. You may visit any DMV office regardless of your city or county of residence.
If your expiration date is less than 6 months away,
the new year of expiration will be set four years ahead. If the
expiration date is 6 months to one year from the date of renewal, the
year of expiration will be set three years ahead.
The same 6-month rule applies if you are renewing more
than a year ahead of expiration. For example, if the expiration is one
year and five months from the date of renewal, the new year of
expiration will be set three years ahead. If the expiration is one
year and seven months away, the new year of expiration will be two
years ahead.
