CONNECTICUT, USA — Connecticut residents can now renew their driver’s licenses and non-driver ID cards online and avoid a trip to a branch office.
The Department of Motor Vehicles began offering its new online renewal program to residents whose licenses or ID cards expired within the past 45 days as part of a “soft-launch” of the initiative.
Officials said 20,000 individuals have already renewed their licenses online.
For now, eligible residents will receive an invitation electronically or by mail to complete their renewal online, including the payment by credit or debit card. Their new licenses will then be sent by mail within 20 days.
“The DMV’s accomplishments in announcing this new service are just one part of our broader efforts to be more accessible to our residents, and it became clearer how important that was during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Governor Lamont said. “The DMV rose to the occasion and moved forward quickly to launch online renewal and implement other services, including appointment scheduling, to make sure we not only kept our residents safe but continued our work to modernize state government.”
