To renew your driving license in Michigan, you have several options, including online, by mail, at a self-service station, or in person. The specific requirements for each method are as follows:

Online

• You must be a US citizen and have renewed your license in person at a local Michigan Secretary of State office last time.
• You must not have requested a duplicate license or a change of address in the last month, or have a new health issue that may affect your driving ability.
• You will need your drivers license number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and payment with a credit or debit card (additional fees apply) or e-check/bank account number.

By mail

• You must be eligible to renew your license or ID by mail.
• You will need your renewal notice, the return envelope (included with your renewal notice), and a check/money order payable to the State of Michigan.
• If you lose or damage your return envelope, you can mail your renewal directly to the Michigan Department of State.

At a self-service station

• You can renew at a self-service station if you are eligible.
• You will need your drivers license number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and payment with a credit or debit card (additional fees apply) or e-check/bank account number.

In person

• You must visit a local Secretary of State branch office.
• You will need to bring all necessary documents, including a valid ID like your license, and your corrective lenses if you need them to drive.
• You will need to complete the renewal form and check it for accuracy, retake the written and driving exams if your license expired 4 or more years ago, take the required vision test, take a new photo for the license, and pay the renewal fees with cash, checks, money orders, or credit/debit cards.
• If you cant renew your license or ID online, by mail, or at a self-service station, and are required to visit a Secretary of State office, you will need to take a vision test and a new photo during your visit.

Its important to note that most residents only need to visit a Secretary of State office every 12 years to renew their credential, take a new photo, and complete a vision test (drivers only) [[2]](https://www.michigan.gov/...
