Renew Your Pennsylvania Driver's License
In Pennsylvania, the PA Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is the umbrella agency in charge of all things DMV-related, but depending on what task you need to complete, you'll have to look for specific offices in Pennsylvania. Find a list of dmv office locations in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
Having a valid driver's license is required to operate your vehicle in Pennsylvania, which means you'll need to renew it when the expiration date approaches. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) handles all driver's license renewal applications.

When to Renew Your PA Driver's License
Every 4 years, your PA driver's license will need to be renewed. If you are 65 years old or older, you have the option to renew every 2 years.
NOTE: If you moved to a new address, you can handle the address change at the same time as your renewal, or online beforehand. For more information, please see our Changing Your Address page.
If you need to check the status of your driver's license renewal, contact the PA DOT.
Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Driver's License
If you lost your PA driver's license and you know it will be expiring soon, you may be able to renew it instead of applying for a duplicate. To verify, you'll need to contact your local PA DOT office.
You can find more information on replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged driver's license on our Replacing a Lost License in Pennsylvania page.
Expired Driver's License
It is illegal to drive on an expired driver's license in Pennsylvania. PennDOT allows you to renew your license without having to restart the driver's licensing process if it has been expired for less than 6 months.
If you're not sure if your driver's license has expired and would like to check the status, you can obtain a copy of your Pennsylvania driving record.
