What is the cost to renew a driver's license in North Carolina?
I’m about to turn 21, and I need to get a new driver’s license to reflect my age. My parents paid for my last driver’s license, so I have no idea how much I should budget. What does it cost to renew a driver’s license in North Carolina?

Happy early birthday! You only turn 21 once, so it enjoy it responsibly. In response to your question, the cost to renew a driver’s license in
North Carolina
is $5.50 per year. However, the length of validity, or how long until the license expires, varies by age:- At age 16 or over the age of 65, a license is good for five years.
- At age 17, a driver’s license is good for four years.
- Between ages 18 and 65, a license is good for eight years.
This results in the following totals when you take into account the $5.50 annual fee:
- Age 16: $27.50
- Age 17: $22
- Age 66 or older: $27.50
- Between ages 18 and 65: $44
To apply for a driver’s license, you can either schedule an appointment at a local DMV or go online, create a MyNCDMV account, and select license renewal. Here’s the website:
