Sacramento – The California Department of Motor Vehicles is now offering Californians who are 70 and older the option to renew their noncommercial driver's license online. Licenses that expire beginning March 1, 2020, and throughout the COVID-19 emergency are eligible, including REAL ID renewals. A mail-in option will be available in the coming weeks. Most drivers 69 and younger can also renew at dmv.ca.gov – even if their renewal notice states they must come to an office.
Driver License or Identification Card Extension If your limited term DL/ID card expires and you need an extension, you must provide a BD/LP document that expires 60 or more days from the day you apply. Today I received another limited term license extension notice It seems so silly to go through this again. California now gives drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants (a policy I'm in favor of BTW, keeps the roads safer if everyone's licensed), so me proving my legal presence to them seems a bit redundant! After your CA driver's license has expired, you have to update your driving record with the California DMV office by calling (916) 657-7790. You will then get an Extension of License for Person in Armed Forces card (DL 236).
The alternative to an in-person renewal follows Governor Gavin Newsom's recent Executive Order that temporarily waives California law requiring drivers age 70 and older to visit a DMV field office to renew their license. The DMV will make this option available during California's State of Emergency or until the order is modified.
The DMV previously provided yearlong extensions to senior drivers with noncommercial licenses expiring in March through December 2020. Those who received the extensions are eligible to renew online.

Commercial licenses, including those for drivers 70 and older, expiring between March and December are extended through December 2020, to align with federal guidelines.

The ability for senior drivers to renew online is the latest action to help Californians avoid or delay a DMV office visit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The DMV continues to streamline its processes to limit the time customers spend at an office. Customers applying for a REAL ID are encouraged to fill out the online application and upload the required documents before they come to the office for expedited service.
