Texas.gov, the official website of the State of Texas, in partnership with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), recently launched an improved service that enables Texans to renew their driver license/ID card or change their address online – www.texas.gov/DLRenewal.
One of the most popular services on Texas.gov, the Driver License Renewal and Change of Address application is an easy, more convenient alternative than visiting the DPS office to complete these tasks. Featuring a fresh design and plain language instructions, the service guides users through a simple transaction that takes just a few minutes to complete. The enhanced service is also intuitive and accessible by all Texans:
It functions on all Internet browser platforms, including mobile;
It is also offered in human rather than machine-translated Spanish; and
It is 100% Section-508 compliant, meeting the accessibility needs of users with visual, hearing or other disabilities.
Driver licenses and IDs must be renewed every 6 years, and any Texan who has moved must change their address on file with DPS within 30 days. In order to use the online service, certain eligibility requirements, such as citizenship, age, and warrant status, must be met.
A growing number of Texans are now choosing to go online instead of to a DPS office. Since January 2012, more than 225,000 renewals and change of address transactions were completed online. The response to the enhanced service has also been very positive with comments such as, “Online service was fast and user-friendly” and “Worked great. A wonderful time and money saver.”
And remember, if you are in need of other driver services, Texas.gov/Driver offers Vehicle Registration Renewal, Driver Records, Driver License Reinstatement, and more.
