Driver License/ID Fees and Exemptions

Most driver licenses are valid for eight years. Licenses issued to those 65 or older and Driver Authorization Cards are valid for four years.

Driver Authorization Cards are charged the same fees as non-commercial Driver Licenses. Commercial license fees are separate.

If a license or ID card is issued for less than four years, the four-year fee still applies.
