To allow for sufficient testing time, we don’t administer knowledge tests within 30 minutes of closing. If you fail the same test three times, your application is no longer valid and you need to reapply. You are allowed three attempts to pass each of the required knowledge tests. Your renewal notice will indicate if you need to take a knowledge test. Pass the knowledge test(s) (if required).Pay the nonrefundable application fee (application and fee valid for 12 months).Complete a DL or ID card application or bring in the DMV renewal notice mailed to you (cross out any old information and write in the current information).
