Ava's answer
The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) allows most drivers to renew their license online via AZ MVD Now, though some renewals require an office visit for a photo, vision test, or document check.
- Renewal window: You may renew your driver license up to six months before its expiration date.
- Renew online or in person: Sign in at AZMVDNow.gov and select 'Renew Now,' or schedule an appointment at an MVD or Authorized Third Party office if an office visit is required.
- Vision test and photo: If an office visit is needed, MVD will conduct a vision test and take an updated photo.
- Optional Travel ID upgrade: Renewal can be used to apply for Arizona's Travel ID (REAL ID), which requires an office visit and identification documents.
- Find an official office if you need to go in person: Use the agency's official office finder: https://azmvdnow.gov/
