What this fee covers

Arizona MVD publishes a fee schedule for driver license and motorcycle license transactions.

The renewal fee on this page reflects the driver license fees in that schedule; separate fees apply for duplicates, permits, endorsements, and reinstatements.

Driver license renewal fees by age

The fee schedule lists driver license / motorcycle license fees of $25 for ages 16-39, $20 for ages 40-44, $15 for ages 45-49, and $10 for age 50 and older with a five-year license.

Use your age at renewal to match the fee.

Limited license fee

The fee schedule lists a $10 limited license fee for military members or students.

Travel ID option

Arizona offers a Travel ID (REAL ID).

The fee schedule lists $25 for original or renewal Travel ID and $12 for duplicates.

Renewal guidance says you can use your renewal to apply for a Travel ID, but you must visit an office for a photo and present identification documents.

When you can renew

MVD says you may renew your driver license within six months of the expiration date.

Online or in-person renewal

MVD says most drivers can renew online through AZMVDNow.

In some cases you must visit an MVD office for an updated photo, a vision test, and to present identification documents.

If an office visit is required, you can schedule an appointment through AZMVDNow or visit an authorized third-party driver license location.

Payment methods and check restrictions

The fee schedule says payment may be made by credit card, cash, check, traveler's check, or money order payable to Motor Vehicle Division for most fees.

Returned check and reinstatement fees may not be paid by check.

Reinstatement fee warning

The fee schedule notes that if a license is revoked, suspended, or canceled, you may need to pay another application fee in addition to a reinstatement fee.

Planning checklist for applicants

Use this checklist to align with Arizona MVD renewal rules and fees:

  1. Match your age to the fee schedule ($25 for ages 16-39, $20 for ages 40-44, $15 for ages 45-49, and $10 for age 50 and older with a five-year license).
  2. If you want a Travel ID, plan an in-person visit and bring the required identification documents.
  3. Renew within six months of your expiration date.
  4. Use AZMVDNow to renew online or schedule an appointment if an office visit is required.
  5. Bring an accepted payment method and avoid checks for reinstatement or returned-check fees.

Common reasons renewals get delayed

Delays happen when applicants need an in-person renewal for a photo, vision test, or identification documents, or when they try to renew outside the six-month window.

Travel ID upgrades can also take longer if required documents are missing.
