You can generally renew your driver's license up to six months (about 150 days) before it expires. For example:

• In California, you can begin the renewal process six months before your license expires

• In Georgia, you can renew up to 150 days (about five months) before expiration

• In the UK (Northern Ireland), you can renew up to two months before your license expires

• In New York, you can renew up to one year before expiration and up to two years after it expires without affecting the new expiration date

• In Ontario, Canada, you typically receive a renewal notice 2-3 months before your license expires, indicating when to renew

• In Tennessee, renewal notices are sent about 8 to 10 weeks before expiration, and renewal options vary by age and license type

Renewing early can help avoid penalties or the risk of driving with an expired license. However, the exact advance renewal period varies by jurisdiction, typically ranging from 2 months to 6 months before expiration. It is best to check your local DMV or licensing authority for the specific timeframe applicable to your area.
