How to Renew a Personal Identification Card

A state identification card expires four years from your last birthday and may be renewed by mail or at any Secretary of State office.  A renewal notice is mailed 45 days before the expiration date.  A state ID card may be renewed up to six months early at a Secretary of State office if you are unable to renew it by mail or unable to renew it on time for any reason.

At renewal you will be required to provide your Social Security number (SSN).  If you do not have an SSN, you will need to provide a letter of ineligibility from the Social Security Administration attesting to that fact along with proof of legal presence.

The cost to renew a state ID card is $10.  No renewal fee is charged for people who are legally blind, age 65 or older, or who have had their driving privileges terminated due to a mental or physical disability.

All documentation is subject to Department of State approval.  In some cases, document approval may not occur in the same day and may require an additional visit.
