Frequently Asked Questions
New Drivers
Michigan utilizes a graduated licensing system for teen drivers. Teens are eligible to begin the licensing process when they reach 14 years and 8 months. The system includes three levels, and each level requires classroom and supervised driving time. Teens cannot advance to the third level until they reach the age of 17. A detailed description of each level and its requirements can be found on the Michigan Secretary of State’s website.
New drivers over the age of 18 may opt out of the classroom education, but they must pass vision screening, road signs test, and knowledge test, and practice driving with a licensed adult for at least 30 days. They must then pass a driving skills test in order to earn a standard license without restrictions.
Michigan License Renewal
About 45 days before your current license expires, you will receive a renewal notice by mail. You will be able to complete your renewal by mail if you didn’t renew by mail during your last renewal, you have a standard, non-commercial license, you are not on listed on the sex offender registry, and your Social Security number has been verified with the Social Security Administration. Simply follow the instructions included in your renewal notice to renew by mail.
If you renewed your last Michigan driver’s license at a Secretary of State office and you are a U.S. citizen, you are eligible to renew your license online at the ExpressSOS website.
You may also renew your license in person at a Michigan SOS office. You will need to bring your current license, your glasses or contact lenses if you use them for driving, and payment for the renewal fees. The SOS branch locator tool can help you find a branch for your in-person renewal.
Michigan Enhanced Driver’s License and REAL ID
In addition to the standard driver’s license, Michigan also offers an Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL). The EDL requires more documentation than a standard license and allows Michigan residents passage into the U.S. by sea or land from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean nations. When an EDL is used for travel, a passport or other identifying documentation is not required.
A REAL ID is a federally recognized form of identification that will be required as of October 1st, 2021, for travel on domestic flights and to access federal property such as military bases. REAL IDs look like standard Michigan driver’s licenses with the addition of a gold star.
An EDL is REAL-ID compliant. Michigan drivers who have an EDL do not need to modify their license in order to comply with the laws going into effect in 2021.
If you do not have an EDL, you can convert your standard Michigan driver’s license to a REAL ID during your regular renewal period for no additional cost. A fee will be required if you convert a standard license to a REAL ID at any other time. For more information on the documentation required for EDLs and REAL IDs, visit the SOS website.
