Online - out of state
A license may be renewed online if you didn't renew it through alternative methods, such as by mail, online or at a self-service station, the last two renewals.
Out of state - by mail
If you will be returning to Michigan soon, a license extension that is valid for 180 days after the date your license expires can be mailed. All that is needed is your complete name, date of birth, license number, Social Security number, and out-of-state address. If you are renewing a standard license, and are ineligible for a Social Security number, you must provide a letter of ineligibility from the Social Security Administration and proof of legal presence. You must have a valid Social Security number to renew an enhanced license. All Social Security information will be verified.
If you aren't going to be back in Michigan within 180 days of the license expiration, information to renew your driver's license by mail, if eligible, will be sent to you.
