Renewing your driver license in plain talk

@CCRoxtar Thanks for the feedback and suggestion!

In addition to (or instead of) being harried by work, kids & aging parents, some people might not think to look at their DLs every now & then. I live in Idaho, which offers 2 options: a 4-year or 8-year license. In my experience, a DL good for 8 years is too easily taken for granted; when it's out of sight, it's out of mind. I renewed mine recently & chose 4 years this time. One tip people could use: set up Yahoo Calendar to remind you annually, shortly before your birthday, to check DL status.

Hey there,
Most individuals can renew online every other renewal cycle. There are a few exceptions that do require an individual to renew in a driver licensing office. Without knowing more details about you, it is not possible to say for sure why you were not able to renew online, but you did mention it is your first renewal. This would indeed be the cause if you are less than 24 years old. At this time we have a general requirement that individuals have to be at least 24 to renew online.

thanks for the great info. i just went to the web site and try to renew my license, but it says i have to renew at the office.
it says" activity not allow to renew online" what is this mean?? is it only certain people can renew online? or just because it is my first DL renewal?
