We've also included current special rules during the Covid-19 pandemic. You can renew your MA license up to a year before it expires, but if it's been expired for more than two years, you'll need to retake written and driving exams. During the pandemic, licenses that expired in a specific period were extended; although cards will show as expired, the Massachusetts RMV systems have been updated with new dates. You can check your profile on their Service Site. You can renew your license online or at any Massachusetts RMV Service Center. Online renewal allows you to do it up to two times in a row if your ID picture is less than 14 years old, meaning you'll need to renew in-person at least once every 15 years. During the pandemic, the Massachusetts RMV is reducing visits to their centers as much as possible; you can only renew your license online or at AAA Autoclub center if you have a membership with them. To renew your Massachusetts driver's license, we'll break down the steps for in-person and online renewal below. If your license has expired for more than two years, prepare to retake written and driving exams. You can refresh your knowledge with our Massachusetts Handbook and practice tests. Find your closest RMV Service Center Location; some centers have a strict no-walk-in policy, so make sure you check hours and make an appointment if necessary.

You'll receive a temporary paper license, and your laminated card will arrive in the mail within 15 days. For online renewal, have your information ready to prove citizenship or lawful presence in the US.

If your license has expired for more than two years or your ID is over 14 years old, you'll be unable to renew online. You can also get a REAL ID; however, it requires an inperson visit to the Massachusetts RMV. Without a REAL ID, you won't be able to fly or enter government buildings without additional identification. During the Covid-19 pandemic, you'll receive a standard Driver's license; you can upgrade to a REAL ID at no additional cost when Real-Id issuance services resume. Before you renew your Massachusetts driver's license, there are some important things to know. What Can Prevent You From Renewing Your License? You can't renew your license if it's suspended or revoked, or if you have unpaid parking tickets, excise tax, or EZ-Pass violations. For these issues, you'll need to pay any outstanding debts with the city and get a receipt as proof of payment. To resolve EZ-Pass violations, call customer service at (877)-627-7745 and arrange to pay the fine in full before renewing your license. If Your License Has Expired?
