License Renewal

Application to renew your license must be made before your birth date each year in order for your license to remain valid. You bear the total responsibility of insuring that a timely and complete renewal application is submitted. Failure to submit a completed application to renew your license before the expiration date will result in the cancellation of your license.  Reinstatement of a cancelled license requires additional documentation and a $25.00 reinstatement fee in addition to the regular renewal fee.

The most efficient way to submit your renewal application and payment of fees is through the ONLINE renewal system. There are no additional fees for this service.

License renewal applications are mailed approximately six weeks before the license expiration date.  This renewal notice is sent to your mailing address of record and MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED WITH PAYMENT.  If you do not receive a renewal notice, you may contact the Bureau to confirm your mailing address and have a duplicate notice sent to you.  Failure to receive a renewal form does not exempt you from the renewal requirement.  Do not wait until the last minute to request a duplicate. 

When submitting your renewal application to the Bureau office, you must include responses to all questions, your social security number, your signature and the appropriate fee(s) before the expiration of your license.  Do not send cash through the mail. Returned checks will be subject to a $20.00 collection fee.

NOTE: If you fail to renew your license before the expiration date, your license WILL be canceled. Renewals postmarked on or after the expiration date must include a $25.00 reinstatement fee in addition to the regular renewal fee. The reinstatement fee is required by §67-2614, Idaho Code and cannot be waived. All questions regarding the reinstatement fee must be submitted by letter or e-mail. Phone calls regarding this matter will NOT be returned.
