Do you need an eye test for driving license renewal?
I just noticed that my driver’s license is set to expire in a few months. I’ve never had to renew my license before, so I’m not exactly sure what I need to do. Do I need to get an eye test to renew my license?

To limit the extensively long lines found in DMVs, most states say that you do not need an eye test for a driving license renewal. However, certain circumstances may require an eye test, including:
- Your license expires. If your license expires, some states make you retake the eye test, and if your license is expired for more than six months, you may have to retake the eye test, road test, and written test.
- You’re renewing after a certain number of years. Some states mandate eye exams after 10 years.
- You already have corrective lenses that put a restriction on your license.
When you renew your driver’s license, it’s also a perfect time to review your car insurance policy. Car insurance rates can change due to a variety of factors, so if you haven’t shopped around recently, grab your policy and comparison shop with the
