How much is it to renew a driver’s license in Alabama?

Does it cost a lot to renew my driver’s license? I moved to Alabama shortly before turning 21 and now I need to renew my license, but I’m scared that there will be a big fee associated with it.

Try not to worry! The cost to renew a driver’s license in
Alabama
is only $36.25, provided that you renew your license before the expiration date. If you renew your license late, however, you may be charged additional fees.
To renew your license, you’ll just need to visit your local licensing office with a copy of your old driver’s license and a method of payment. Some licensing offices require specific forms of payment (such as a money order), so check with your licensing branch to learn more about your payment options.
You’ll also need to have your photo taken when you get your new license, so make sure that you look your best! It’s best not to wear unusually heavy makeup, try a new hairstyle, or otherwise change your appearance before having your photo taken, as this could make it more difficult to identify you using your ID in the future.
