Check online eligibility: Online renewal: age 21-69, U.S. citizen or permanent resident, Idaho Class D license (valid or expired up to 25 months), no name change or Star Card upgrade.
Renew online or in person: Log into DMV Online at dmvonline.itd.idaho.gov to renew, or visit a local DMV office. Online renewal carries a $5 discount versus in person.
Star Card requires in-person visit: Upgrading to a Star Card requires an in-person appointment with identification documents.
